We have created a centralized biobank and governance structure to collect and manage access to COVID-19 positive samples to facilitate research in this area at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.
With the current increase in COVID-19 cases in Colorado and our local area, it is important that the research activities adjust accordingly.
