Tissue Banks and Pathology Tools (TBPT) Workspace

The TBPT workspace is providing for the integration, development, and implementation of tissue and pathology tools. There is strong interest and investment in this area throughout the cancer center community, and this workspace provides an opportunity to bind systems together into a unified resource through a shared informatics infrastructure. In keeping with the caBIG philosophy of database federation, these systems are being designed or modified to facilitate the integration of, and access to, information from geographically-separate areas. Cancer centers with experience in successfully developing tools in this domain are acting as developers, while other centers are included as testing and validation sites. Centers that have expressed an interest in sharing information regarding specimen repositories and data sets are participating as early test sites, providing an opportunity to demonstrate how the tools perform in real-world practice. This cycle has been successfully conducted for the caTissue Core and caTissue Suite 1.0 applications, with the development / testing & validation cycle currently underway for caTissue Suite 1.1.
