From research question to study design
Research applications
Oncology biospecimens, linked donor data and pathology expertise—selected around the question you need to answer.
Explore the applicationsStart with your research question
Explore how TriStar’s tissue collections, data and integrated services can support your next study.
Prevalence studies
Map target expression across tissues
Compare biomarker expression across tumor indications and nonmalignant tissues. Start with multi-tumor TMAs, then focus on indication-specific arrays or FFPE cohorts.
Explore application
Immuno-oncology
Explore the tumor immune context
Study immune markers and the tumor microenvironment in tissue with available treatment history, recorded response and follow-up. Add spatial or multiplex analysis to selected cohorts.
Explore application
Targeted cancer therapeutics
Select tissue around a molecular question
Build cohorts around available mutation, fusion or protein-expression data. Connect tissue characterization with clinical records to investigate target expression and treatment context.
Explore application
ADCs & bispecifics
Characterize targets for antibody research
Examine target expression, tissue heterogeneity and immune context using FFPE tissue, TMAs and associated data. Plan IHC or multiplex studies around your antibody-therapeutic research question.
Explore applicationConnect the right tissue, data and assays
Shape the study around the indication, biomarker and clinical context that matter to your research.
Select your cohort
Explore FFPE tissue, tissue microarrays and matched plasma collections. Define the tissue format and donor-selection criteria for your study.
Explore biological samplesConnect donor records
Review available clinical, treatment and molecular information, with matched images where available, to put tissue findings in context.
Explore linked dataPlan the laboratory work
Discuss IHC, RNAscope, multiplex immunofluorescence, molecular profiling and image analysis, with medical pathologist input on tissue selection and interpretation.
