Overview

Mayo Clinic seeks to advance research and improve health for all people in collaboration with scientists in both industry and academia. Mayo Clinic Bioservices offers resources, expertise and innovative support to investigators — at Mayo, at other research institutions and with industry partners — to drive biomedical research that advances Mayo Clinic's vision of better health and healthcare for everyone.

Investigator-to-investigator support

Part of what makes Mayo Clinic Bioservices unique is its highly trained, specialized staff. Staff members are researchers themselves. They've been in the trenches, so they're able to meet with Mayo Clinic Bioservices clients in the design phase.

Scientific staff members in Mayo Clinic Bioservices have the expertise to guide collaborators through the extensive range of Mayo Clinic Bioservices collections and service options. Team members work closely with individual project stakeholders to determine which participants fulfill specific study criteria.

Expert biospecimen services

Science, technology and quality are vital to basic, translational and epidemiological research. They are fundamental to Mayo Clinic's labs, and they support the exacting needs of Mayo Clinic clinicians and scientists.

Mayo Clinic Bioservices is dedicated to supporting cutting-edge biomedical research with state-of-the-art biospecimen processing, storage and shipping services.

Lab services are highly automated. This focus on technology ensures predictable, uniform processes, resulting in high-quality outcomes. At the same time, the team-focused staff members are dedicated to solving your research problems. Mayo Clinic invests in training staff members to meet the world-class quality levels required by Mayo's researchers and collaborators.

Engaged participant community

The integrity of biomedical research is vital, and investigators need the assurance that collections they use in their research have been acquired and consented ethically. Mayo Clinic Bioservices has established a Community Advisory Board to ensure that the participant community is engaged.

Mayo Clinic Bioservices' governance program features:

• A patient-centered governance structure.
• A strong network of participants.
• Community Advisory Board membership representing varied interests and backgrounds.
• Long-term postcollection communication.

Mayo Clinic has made a significant, long-term and ongoing investment in the Community Advisory Board for continued guidance of the Mayo Clinic Bioservices Program. Researchers and collaborators can pursue their scientific goals confident in the ethics of Mayo's approach.
