Personalized OncoGenomics (POG) Biobank, Canada

Mono: A biobank that supports a specific research project, may have few staff members, a small-scale accrual scope with little to no initial intention of releasing or distributing biospecimens to secondary parties
Oligo: A biobank that supports several research groups or clinical trials, may or may not be designed to release biospecimens outside their collaborative group
Poly: A biobank that has generally a larger accrual scope, resources, and multiple users outside the biobank proper

Registration Status: Completed

Objective: Personalized Oncogenomics (POG) program at BC Cancer investigates genomic landscapes of hard to treat cancers and inform therapeutic options. POG Biobank will collect biospecimens (blood, tumour tissue, others) for the purpose of cancer research. We aim to utilize and share the data and samples with the wider research community globally to help generate novel therapies and improve cancer outcomes.
