The silent foundation of discovery in medical research.
We specialize in sourcing RUO human biospecimens from admixed populations, equipping our scientific partners for successful integration of FDA mandated DAPs at more mature stages of their research.
Our Ethos
Empowering scientists to uncover the molecular signatures that lead to better treatments by connecting them with a unique ecosystem that supports their research programs in translational and therapeutic discovery.
Delivering the diversity, depth, and clinical clarity researchers need to unlock reliable insights.
Human Subject Compliance
* Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
* 21 CFR 50 Protection of Human Rights
* 21 CFR 56 Institutional Review Boards
IRB/Ethics Compliance
* Informed Consent
Logistics Excellence | adherence to US customs regulations and ensuring temperature-controlled solutions.
Ethics and scientific responsibility.
We work with regulatory authorities around the globe to ensure compliant processes and protocols. With our extensive experience collaborating with international ethics committees and institutional review boards (IRBs), we are deeply familiar with the ethical, legal, and cultural frameworks governing human subjects research in diverse jurisdictions, ensuring that every project aligns with both local regulations and global standards.
Data Integrity
Ancestria Bio has IRB approved protocols in all international donor sites.
All health records and reports are translated and anonymized for all subjects prior to entry into your EDC software.
Admixed REsearch Samples
At the genomic level, Latin American individuals, with their tricontinental admixture (Native American, European, African), exhibit high inter- and intra- individual heterogeneity. Genetic variation related to ancestry can influence cancer risk, drug metabolism and polygenic risk score calibration.
Blood & Biofluids
Collected from disease-state donors. International samples are available frozen. Our samples are ethically sourced with informed consent and include comprehensive health data, including clinical reports, imaging, treatment and disease progression insights.
Human Tissue
FFPE, Fresh, Frozen and Fixed Tissue samples from confirmed disease and healthy controls, covering a wide spectrum of oncologic and other diseases. Subjects with matched blood and biofluids are also possible.
RUO Cohorts
* Pre-treatment collection.
* Longitudinal studies.
* Healthy controls.
International Donor Sites
Our network consists of federated laboratory facilities and medical centers that strictly adhere to GCP standards and local jurisdictional ethical requirements. Specimens are either shipped directly to your door via Cencora World Courier or securely stored at our partner biobanks in Barranquilla, Colombia, or Piscataway, NJ, USA.
