AIDS and Cancer Specimen Resource

The AIDS and Cancer Specimen Resource (ACSR) is the only collector of HIV/AIDS malignancy biospecimens and distributor to researchers and medical professionals at no cost around the globe. The biorepository collects, stores, and properly distributes biospecimens from individuals who have contracted HIV/AIDS with a wide-array of contracted diseases due to this diagnosis, specifically, cancers, pre, and post-HAART. The ACSR’s mission statement is, “to acquire, store, and equitably distribute these tumor tissues and biological fluids along with associated clinical data to investigators conducting HIV/AIDS-related research (1)”.
