Administrative and sample core supporting acute myeloid leukemia (AML) work
Core A: Administrative Core
This core organizes collection and lab testing of blood and bone marrow samples to help people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and older healthy donors.

What this research studies
If you participate, the core team helps collect your blood or bone marrow samples and arranges safe handling and storage in a tissue bank. They run molecular tests on samples and link lab results with clinical data to help other projects understand AML. The core also provides biostatistics and coordinates meetings and oversight across the program so multiple research teams can share findings. Overall, they manage the administrative and clinical tasks needed to keep patient sample research running smoothly.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia who are willing to donate blood or bone marrow samples, and healthy older adults willing to provide bone marrow for comparison, are the ideal candidates.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have AML or who are unable or unwilling to provide samples are unlikely to be directly involved or benefit from this core's activities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: By improving how patient samples and data are collected and analyzed, this core could speed discoveries that lead to better, more personalized care for people with AML.
How similar studies have performed: Biospecimen and administrative cores at academic centers have previously supported important discoveries in blood cancers, so this is an established approach that enables follow-on patient research.
