A great example of the type of research our preemie cord blood samples support! The Preemie Biobank was established in 2018 in collaboration with @Pascal_M_Lavoie , and collects cord blood & placenta from deliveries <33 weeks gestation at BCWH.

We have nutrition and metabolism samples and associated data that is available for your research! These samples were leftover from a late established local investigator and ethically transferred over to the BioBank to continue to fuel future studies.

All set up at #PCHRM2024! Come say hi to Ashton and Veronica in the Exhibitor Hall to discuss how the BCCH BioBank can help fuel your research!
