About the CHTN (Eastern Division)
The Cooperative Human Tissue Network is an organization sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that proactively procures bio-specimens to support the research community.
The Eastern Division of the Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN), which has been in existence since 1987, continues its work of providing well-characterized biospecimens to investigators working in the fields of neoplasia, autoimmune disease, degenerative diseases and aging. Research projects include utilization of techniques of molecular biology, immunobiology, proteomics, genomics, and investigations of mutations, nucleic acid chemistry, and microRNA in disease. We are adapting our services to provide more specialized but still high-quality specimens to fill researcher needs by expanding our research base in the region.
