Pattern.org enables cancer (or rare disease) patients to directly donate their excess tissue and medical data to research. Once you enroll, pattern.org will link you to a specific research project studying your disease. You can then learn about the study and review, and sign an informed consent if you wish to contribute. If you choose to contribute, we will arrange the transfer of your tissue sample(s), such as tumor tissue, blood, urine, saliva, etc., on your behalf.  If there is not yet a research project established, we temporarily store your sample in our Pattern Biobank as we work diligently to make a match.
