CHTN Leadership

Each CHTN Division is led by a board-certified diagnostic surgical pathologist who carefully reviews each request and assists investigators in selecting appropriate tissues and protocols. Every biospecimen meets stringent human tissue quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) standards, reinforcing the reliability and reproducibility of research outcomes. The CHTN Leadership has been instrumental in establishing quality standards for human tissue resources and setting benchmarks adopted by other biorepositories worldwide.
