- 00:17Welcome back, this session is
- 00:19being recorded. Thank you.
- 00:24Hi, my name is Michael Kaplan.
- 00:25I'm chair of the Department of Cellular
- 00:28and Molecular Physiology at Yale and
- 00:30it's my great pleasure to introduce our
- 00:32next speaker which is Doctor Chen Lu,
- 00:34MD, PhD, who's the Anthony and
- 00:37Brady Professor of Pathology,
- 00:38the Chair of Pathology and the
- 00:40Chief of Pathology at Yale,
- 00:42New Haven Hospital in the
- 00:44Yale School of Medicine.
- 00:45Chen is an expert in hepatitis
- 00:47and in liver tumors and his topic
- 00:50today is going to be tissue
- 00:52based diagnosis and research.
- 00:54Chen.
- 00:55Thank you Mike. Thank
- 00:59you for the introduction.
- 01:09OK, you see my slides right. Good.
- 01:14OK, first of all, I want to thank Mike and
- 01:18Mario for the opportunity to speak here.
- 01:21So although I would like to speak today
- 01:24is about this new entity, it's called
- 01:26Youth School Medicine Ball repository.
- 01:29So with the approval from D.
- 01:31Nancy Brown. So this why I signed
- 01:34repository is officially in business.
- 01:36So the goal for this,
- 01:38the bar repository is to establish a
- 01:43coordinated biorepository that that allows
- 01:45for the alignment of collected tissue,
- 01:48plasma serum and genetic samples
- 01:51and clinical data and using common
- 01:55process and information system.
- 01:57So the here are the five listed five
- 02:01major goals for the YM Bowery Pastor.
- 02:04For his two support overall by medical
- 02:08research and clinical trials on Yale
- 02:11campus and the others support focused
- 02:14research and clinical programs.
- 02:16That's including PPG's centers, et cetera.
- 02:19I think that's where the liver
- 02:21center could be part of it,
- 02:23and then to serve community
- 02:25health initiatives.
- 02:26In other words, we will.
- 02:27Be ready and to help some community health
- 02:32initiative and then this is become a
- 02:35school's asset to enable development of
- 02:39innovative diagnostics and therapeutics.
- 02:42And finally,
- 02:43and this repositor will advocate
- 02:46for systemized and standardize
- 02:49how we release and accurate human
- 02:53specimens and data at Yale.
- 02:55So this is the scope of the
- 02:58work in the YMCA repository.
- 03:00One is General General Bowl banking intake,
- 03:04acquisition,
- 03:05processing,
- 03:05storage and distribution.
- 03:07That's the basic function of the
- 03:09power repository and the other
- 03:11very important section of this
- 03:14file repository is investigator
- 03:16initiated or program initiated.
- 03:18The tissue banking you have heard
- 03:20from Mario and there is really
- 03:23liver cancer or a bank and.
- 03:25That within the liver sender.
- 03:27So certainly this will be the place
- 03:29we can thinking about model would be
- 03:32the best way to collaborate with the
- 03:34liver center and then the other action.
- 03:36Is clinical trial support and
- 03:38then the other is, you know,
- 03:41exists existing biobanks support.
- 03:43So one of the key things is of this bank.
- 03:46What was going to be highlighted here?
- 03:49So CAP accreditation also which is College
- 03:52of American pathologists accreditation.
- 03:55So why do we have to do that?
- 03:56So that's the key point.
- 03:58So the CP file repository accreditation
- 04:00program was is that you know what
- 04:03you know was approved by the CMS.
- 04:05You know this is CMS as you know,
- 04:08Center for medical Medicare service.
- 04:10So in 2019.
- 04:11So basically with this
- 04:14you know approval the CMS,
- 04:17will you know recognize and
- 04:20the CPAP acquitted?
- 04:21Accredited Tissue bank will be part
- 04:24of Clear Certified laboratory.
- 04:26In other words,
- 04:26if you with this you know CP
- 04:29creditation many of the clear certified
- 04:31laboratory testing can be rendered.
- 04:34So basically it you know the CMS
- 04:37rendered the the confidence in
- 04:39specimen the you know province
- 04:43clinical laboratory director may
- 04:45accept specimen for testing for
- 04:48a banking because a formal clear
- 04:51approval requirement.
- 04:52The specimen collection integrity has been,
- 04:54you know,
- 04:55in place and it's also has established
- 04:58confidence in Preanalytical
- 05:00variable tracking and control.
- 05:02For samples used in drug trials,
- 05:04with associated biomarker development.
- 05:06So this is also very important for this.
- 05:09For Yale about repository to be engaged in
- 05:12clinical trials and also for pharmaceutical
- 05:15trials and also this with its approval,
- 05:18this really improves alignment
- 05:21of accreditation preparation.
- 05:23And the inspection process for the repository
- 05:25affiliated with CAP accredited laboratory.
- 05:28For example, the yield pathology lab
- 05:31and also the hospital hospital clinical
- 05:34laboratories that they all clear,
- 05:36certified and also CAP accredited.
- 05:38So this is part of the extension of
- 05:42the accredited laboratory and then the
- 05:45you know why SM repository is almost
- 05:48become a seamless extension of the.
- 05:51You know the current.
- 05:53Clinical laboratory,
- 05:54so what's the current status right now?
- 05:56There is no CP credit about
- 05:59repository in Connecticut school.
- 06:01We just look at the our neighbors.
- 06:03Massachusetts has one which is tough and
- 06:06Rhode Island 0 New York has three Mount
- 06:09Sinai and NYU and Memorial Sloan Kettering,
- 06:12New Jersey, has one.
- 06:13If we should rockers.
- 06:17So the water they you know you knows about
- 06:21repository organizational structure.
- 06:23We basically this is an entity in.
- 06:26This is an entity under the Dean
- 06:29and Deputy Deans for research,
- 06:32so the repository is supervised by executive
- 06:35committee appointed by the Deputy Deans.
- 06:38So this executive committee will
- 06:40have wide representation from all
- 06:42the departments and stakeholders,
- 06:44so there will be a director to
- 06:46run this operation and certainly.
- 06:47But the other piece it would
- 06:49be like operational manager,
- 06:50pathologists and data managers
- 06:53coordinators for compliance,
- 06:54and the consenting and the
- 06:56technical staff in this repository,
- 06:58so I would just use this chart to highlight
- 07:01the overall organizational structure.
- 07:04You can see the you know the director
- 07:06round the three major operations.
- 07:08Here is 1 the operation and the pre at.
- 07:12You know pre collections you know
- 07:14activity including consenting
- 07:16regulatory affairs and customer
- 07:17service and then the operational
- 07:20piece with the technical piece and to
- 07:22have the space and the procurement,
- 07:24tissue characterization,
- 07:25storage,
- 07:26distribution and then the one very
- 07:29important piece is the data management.
- 07:32So within this data management
- 07:33we will establish.
- 07:35Honest broker program with the honest
- 07:38broker honest broker program which
- 07:41will facilitate many many of the
- 07:44you know studies and really shorten
- 07:47the IRB approval process for many,
- 07:50many of legislators.
- 07:51This is a very important part.
- 07:54So now I've seen in terms of patient
- 07:57consenting and regulatory affairs.
- 08:00So we one of the key initiative or
- 08:02main tasks for this bout repository
- 08:05is to establish universal,
- 08:07consenting process.
- 08:07So we're working with the IRB
- 08:09and the hospital and also clinic
- 08:12and hopefully we'll establish the
- 08:14universal consenting process.
- 08:15Basically at the time of patient
- 08:17checking in in our facility,
- 08:19so they will automatically,
- 08:20you know, have you know,
- 08:22provided the opportunity
- 08:23to participate in the bio.
- 08:25Thank you and then,
- 08:26as I mentioned, you know this.
- 08:28As you know,
- 08:28the you know tissue banking
- 08:30is heavily regulated,
- 08:31regulated and through different
- 08:33agencies and honest program,
- 08:36honest broker program as I mentioned
- 08:39will really facilitate the internal
- 08:41research process and due to increase
- 08:44the banks usage and without too
- 08:47many you know regulatory. Burden.
- 08:53So what did the banker will do?
- 08:54OK, as this will be,
- 08:57I would call it the products from the West,
- 08:59and so one is certainly we will
- 09:02have developed the capacity
- 09:04and technology to annotate and
- 09:06process archive and fresh samples.
- 09:09This is all inclusive.
- 09:10For example,
- 09:11the fresh samples including blood
- 09:13and solid tissues and one of
- 09:15the key features the better.
- 09:16Will you know,
- 09:17get involved is to have a paired sample.
- 09:20In other words,
- 09:21you know we'll establish the
- 09:22tissue and blood.
- 09:23As a pair,
- 09:24because this is going to be very important,
- 09:26in particular for genetic study.
- 09:28So the bank also collect live tissue,
- 09:31and for organelle cultures
- 09:32and the PDX PDX mice.
- 09:34In other words,
- 09:35the two you know either tumor
- 09:38tissue or normal tissue can
- 09:40actually be starred in a live.
- 09:42You know,
- 09:42stage for many,
- 09:43many years in. In other words,
- 09:45you know this would be down the road.
- 09:47Allow some of the tissue
- 09:49recovered for biological study.
- 09:51So the bank also thinking
- 09:52about it to establish.
- 09:54Particular sign lines depending on
- 09:56the need from the investigators,
- 09:58so we will be able to derive really fresh
- 10:01thought lines and from the clinical specimen,
- 10:04and there is also molecular banking,
- 10:06so the samples will have the paired DNA,
- 10:10RNA and proteins ready and for
- 10:13the investigators use and then,
- 10:15as I mentioned earlier,
- 10:16you know we have the blood
- 10:18and solid tissue altogether.
- 10:20That means that there will be a
- 10:22system to isolate mononuclear.
- 10:24Cells and the tool using the baffle and
- 10:28the tool store those samples in the bag.
- 10:31So as I mentioned earlier,
- 10:34it is important for the data
- 10:36management you know for the bank.
- 10:38So this bank not only the tissue
- 10:39and the most you know,
- 10:41it's also for the diet.
- 10:42So the main software system for the
- 10:44bank we're using the freezer work to
- 10:47really coordinate the banks usage and
- 10:49then same time to integrate with the
- 10:52computational health platform which
- 10:53has been established at New Haven Hospital.
- 10:57So basically you know the epic,
- 10:58you know all the epic
- 11:00information can be pulled.
- 11:01Team and into create this.
- 11:03You know,
- 11:04you know we call the CHP platform
- 11:07so this will allow integration
- 11:10between tissue and data.
- 11:13So this is the you know the system.
- 11:15You know where is working really well,
- 11:18particularly over the past.
- 11:19You know year or two you know this,
- 11:21you know you know PHP system has provided
- 11:25important support for COVID related research.
- 11:27This is really credit to,
- 11:30you know, weigh the shores.
- 11:32And he has leading this,
- 11:34you know,
- 11:35PHP establishment.
- 11:36So weight is going to be part of the
- 11:39biobanking and he's going to lead
- 11:41the information management system.
- 11:44And I think this is going to be
- 11:46very powerful system to allow
- 11:47you know how to match.
- 11:49You know the tissue and make
- 11:50sure the tissue will have,
- 11:52you know, be well annotated.
- 11:55Space so right now,
- 11:56as as I speak now so we
- 11:59don't have this space yet,
- 12:01but hopefully next few months we're going
- 12:03to have a physical presence and our future.
- 12:07You know,
- 12:07the eventual place of this browser,
- 12:09Positor is most likely at the Temple St.
- 12:12You know the temple Medical Center,
- 12:13but temporarily we could probably
- 12:15going to have some other, you know,
- 12:18startup space and to be determined.
- 12:21So we have identified some candidates space.
- 12:23So the idea is in the
- 12:24next two or three months.
- 12:26So we have we will going to have
- 12:29the physical in operation and you
- 12:31know the the you know to really
- 12:33getting all the stops and the CP
- 12:37accreditation process to start it.
- 12:40And the last thing last point is funding.
- 12:44So how as you know how this
- 12:46bank is going to be funded?
- 12:48So this is really the you know,
- 12:49our aspirational goal.
- 12:51The goal is the bank should be,
- 12:54you know, eventually be 50% funded
- 12:57by the institution you know.
- 13:00This can be from, you know,
- 13:02the university support of in this case
- 13:04will be the Dean's office support.
- 13:06Either also grants,
- 13:08industrial industry collaboration.
- 13:10All the lines will be and then the other
- 13:1250% probably will come from the overall
- 13:15the user user user fees either program.
- 13:19You know, program focused.
- 13:21The banking and the worst is the you
- 13:24know users and we can do the chargeback
- 13:27and for the you know for that.
- 13:30So this is the end of my brief
- 13:33introduction with on this year.
- 13:35You know years ago medicine,
- 13:36but repository.
- 13:37I think this is going to be a shared
- 13:40resources and is going to have a you know,
- 13:42most standardized operation,
- 13:43and this certainly could be
- 13:45a very good resources for all
- 13:48the liver investigators here.
- 13:49And so we need to talk,
- 13:52you know,
- 13:52moving forward and looking forward
- 13:55the conversation to see how we can
- 13:57interact with the existing and the liver.
- 14:00Like the second out by Mario
- 14:02and you know I have to say,
- 14:06you know,
- 14:06the last slide is really credited
- 14:08to Nancy Brown,
- 14:10who has really initiated this whole thing
- 14:13and ** *** will support this repository.
- 14:17And then there there was
- 14:19a Task force committee.
- 14:20You know,
- 14:21you know within Task Committee committee
- 14:23and the Mario has been part of this
- 14:26committee and to set up this vision.
- 14:28I think I'm very excited.
- 14:30And I hope and with your support,
- 14:33this ISM repository will be
- 14:35really a great asset and a great
- 14:38resources for all the liver
- 14:40inside investigators here and I
- 14:43stopped that as I stopped there.
- 14:45Thank you very much for your attention.
