A Study to Establish a Living Breast Organoid Biobank for Translational Research
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ; Jacksonville, FL; Rochester, MN
Researchers at Mayo Clinic are developing a Biobank of adult stem cell-rich breast organoids, a new research resource to facilitate normal and cancer stem cell research. Subjects in the Biobank will provide samples of excess breast tissue, complete a health questionnaire, and allow access to medical records now and in the future. The Biobank serves as a library for researchers; instead of having to look for volunteers for each new project, researchers can use samples from the Biobank as well as share information already collected.

Automated Breast Measurements
Jacksonville, FL
The correction of breast asymmetries requires the capture of accurate surface images and anatomical measurements of the breast. Currently, surface breast measurements are performed manually. We hypothesize that using the true depth imaging sensors embedded within mobile devices and differential algorithms, breast measurements can be performed in an automated format. These measurments can be potentially utilized for the production of asymmetric garments to improve comfort and symmetry.
The study plans to include female subjects (ages 18 – 85) previously evaluated for aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery and add new subjects who desire aesthetic or reconstructive breast surgery ...
