該研究所安裝了十幾台新的冷凍櫃，以容納來自馬里蘭州Rockville，國防部前列腺疾病研究中心的樣本。
人體生物資料庫資深主管Stella Somiari在研究所表示，Windber與前列腺癌症中心的研究人員合作，將儲存及數位登錄數千個前列腺癌組織樣本、血液樣本和組織切片。
“他們正將樣本全搬到這裡，並且會繼續將樣本寄給我們進行長期儲存”，Somiari說：“我們具備人體生物資料庫所有的基礎設施”。
Somiari表示感謝國防部對Windber中心的持續信心，該中心自 2001年啟動以來，一直為Walter Reed國家軍事醫療中心的臨床乳房護理研究，提供生物樣本資料庫和生物資訊。
“他們相信我們做得很好”，Somiari 說，“他們信任我們能處理寶貴的研究樣本，我認為他們很欣賞我們與（乳腺癌研究）合作的方式，讓我們有責任管理所有組織”。
Cool project: Windber institute banking on its reputation, adds tissue freezers
WINDBER – A major expansion underway at the Chan Soon-Shiong Institute of Molecular Medicine at Windber tissue bank is a testament to the reputation built over nearly two decades of breast cancer studies, leaders say.
More than a dozen new freezers have been installed at the institute to accommodate specimens from the Defense Department's Center for Prostate Disease Research in Rockville, Maryland.
Windber collaborates with researchers at the prostate cancer center and will handle storage and digital cataloging of thousands of prostate cancer tissue specimens, along with blood samples and slides with tissue resections, biobank Senior Director Stella Somiari said at the institute.
“They are moving it all here, and they will continue to send their samples to us for long-term storage,” Somiari said. “We have all the biobanking infrastructure.”
Somiari said she appreciates the Defense Department's continued confidence in the Windber center, which has provided biobanking and bioinformatics for Walter Reed National Military Medical Center's Clinical Breast Care Project research since it was launched in 2001.
“They believe we are doing a good job,” Somiari said. “They trust us with the precious research samples. I think they appreciate the way we have worked with the (breast cancer research) to give us the responsibility to manage all the tissues.”
