Objective: The BioCORE is a research-based biobank and bioanalysis facility supporting research in pediatric health. We can assist research studies at all steps of the study process, from specimen processing, storage, retrieval as well as some bioanalysis (currently multiplex immunoassays and ELISAs) of specimens. The specimens accrued to date come from a number of studies.
