MTBC SPENT TEN YEARS CREATING THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED TO OPEN THIS BANK. THIS PROCESS HAS ENTAILED, WITH THE HELP OF OUR RESEARCH INVESTIGATORS, THEIR INSTITUTIONAL STAFF, AND OUR ATTORNEYS DESIGNING THE BIOINFORMATICS, WRITING THE RESEARCH PROTOCOL, CREATING THE UNDERLYING MANUAL, GENERATING THE CONSORTIUM CONTRACTS AND IN GENERAL CREATING THE UNDERLYING STRUCTURE NEEDED TO FUNCTION AS A CONSORTIUM. IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, WE HAVE OPENED FOUR SITES IN THE US, AND ALL ARE COLLECTING TISSUE AND DATA.
