The PCD promotes and supports research efforts of clinical trials as well as academic research. Requests are accepted for numerous indications including, but not limited to, biospecimen acquisition, database mining, and utilization of current clinical assays for both non-routine clinical (e.g. samples associated with clinical trials) and research samples. Request forms are reviewed and approved by the Research Request Committee. Approved requests will be assigned a project lead, who will be the point person for all communication regarding the project.
The Rittenhouse Molecular Laboratory offers high-throughput testing with a focus on infectious diseases, such as COVID-19.
