Participation in the operation of the biobank at the USask Biobank

The USask biobank currently specializes in oncology specimen collection. We cover all steps from biospecimen sample collection (biopsy, tissue, blood and ascites fluids), processing, quality control and storage. We also coordinate new release samples for the USask and Pan-Canadian project research teams. All patient data, samples and associated data must be captured, traceable and updated in the ATiM biobank database.
During this period, the student will be invited to familiarize themselves with all the operational and administrative activities of the biobank. The student can participate in writing new, reviewing and updating procedures. We also have opportunities for expansion of sample collection in which the student may participate and will be expected to conduct literature searches and lead project set-up meetings during oral and written presentations.
