The Meeting was centered on potential scientific collaboration between the BBRC and the CRBCM & Greater East Cancer Center. The collaboration is called for by most grant funding source for both entities. The Biomedical research (BBRC) needs cooperation with cancer centers, and the CRBCM needs ties with the local University.
We discussed the careful handling of exchanged study tissue or fluid samples which should follow NCI protocols related to studies on human subjecst (Dr Kankonde attended appropriate NCI training and is a certified investigator like most American Oncologists) and proper handling of patient information should follow HIPPA guidleines. Under the term of the understanding, no patient name will be released to the University staff.
CRBCM also met DR GIULIO FRANCIA, PHD, Assistant professor in the Dept. of Biological Sciences at UTEP. The line of discussion was similar. Collaboration on future investigations and publications was the bulk of the discussion.
The CRBCM has 2 grant request application letters pending before the BBRC.
Details of the plans are still waiting to be finalized. The meeting was informative about the spectrum of clinical research projects at this Dept. at UTEP.
