Welcome

The Quebec Leukemia Cell Bank is a provincial program funded by the Cancer Research Network of the Fonds de Recherche du Québec en Santé (FRQS).

  • The Quebec Leukemia Cell Bank is a biobank certified by The Canadian Tissue Repository Network (CTRNet).
  • It groups together hematologists, researchers and clinical scientists from four Quebec universities (Université Laval, McGill, Sherbrooke, Montréal) and Quebec research centers.
  • The cell bank has been in operation since 2001.
  • The primary objective of the Quebec Leukemia Cell Bank is to support basic, translational and clinical blood cancer research.

It also serves to provide an infrastructure aimed at facilitating the work of researchers in various fields, such as oncology, hematology and immunology in particular. Several researchers have already benefited from this infrastructure in the course of their work.

The purpose of this website is to raise awareness about our cell bank so we can continue to help an increasing number of researchers.
