• Description:
  The purpose of the National Mesothelioma Virtual Bank (NMVB) for Translational Research is to maximize the effectiveness of data and biospecimen collection for mesothelioma. The NMVB serves as a resource which allows researchers real time access to clinical data associated with tissue specimens from the registry, thus expanding scientific discovery and effective treatments to benefit the mesothelioma research and patient community. The NMVB is developed on well-established tissue banking models including the Cooperative Prostate Cancer Tissue Resource (CPCTR) and the Pennsylvania Cancer Alliance Bioinformatics Consortium. Drs. Becich, Dhir, Feldman and Melamed have collaborated on these efforts and have several publications together in the area of virtual tissue banks and the informatics tools required to make them scalable nationally. The experience and track record of collaboration between U Penn, U Pitt and NYU will ensure that the NMVB will provide large numbers of specimens with accurate quality control and standardized pathologic review, and detailed quality controlled outcome data to enable biomarker validation studies.
