A biorepository is a centralized location that processes and stores select biological fluids, tissues or cells from humans. The 8p biorepository accepts blood, tissue and cerebrospinal fluid samples. These samples are incredibly helpful for researchers who are trying to identify treatments for patients with 8p. All samples kept in the biorepository are de-identified and owned by the participants themselves. Staff from the Project 8p Foundation decide which interested researchers get access to these samples.
