Accelerating Scientific Discovery With Expert Specimen Support
The Biobank & Molecular Analysis Program (BMAP) at Nemours Children’s is a fully staffed, CAP-accredited. state-of-the-art facility. Our team has extensive expertise in biorepository, genomic sequencing, and molecular analysis services. We help accelerate research for clinicians, investigators, and partners locally and globally. We collaborate with leading institutions, including Thomas Jefferson University, University of Delaware, ChristianaCare, the American Lung Association, and many others.
Our biobank is one of the largest and most diverse repositories with more than 15,000 collected specimens (and growing) in our Nemours repository, plus an additional 500,000 specimens in the American Lung Association sponsored Lung Health Cohort repository.
Specimens include solid/liquid tumors, tissue, cartilage, cells, blood, stool, and more. We offer next generation and single cell sequencing, spatial profiling, digital PCR, gene expression analysis, mononuclear cell and nucleic acid isolation and extraction, and other leading-edge molecular capabilities.
We deliver high-quality, compliant specimen collection, processing, storage, and analysis services for a broad range of projects. With advanced technologies and instrumentation, we empower life-changing pediatric research.
