title: CRC Tissue Core Management System (TCMS): integration of basic science and clinical data for translational research.
abstract: The Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Research Consortium (CRC) consists of 9 geographically distributed sites conducting a program of research including both basic science and clinical components. The CRC TCMS was designed to capture and integrate basic science and clinical data sets. The system utilizes multiple data modeling methodologies and web-application platforms, and was designed with the high level objectives of providing an extensible, generalizable model for integrating data as required to conduct translational research.
