Standard operating procedures for omics sample preparation
TRANSLACORE Working Group 2 has harmonized four standard operating procedures for preparing fresh-frozen tissues, blood and blood-derived specimens, bronchial lavage fluid, and patient-derived organoids for omics analyses. The protocols address sample handling, stabilization, processing, storage and quality assessment, with specimen-specific guidance for downstream applications. By promoting molecular integrity, traceability and consistent documentation of pre-analytical variables, these resources support reproducible research across laboratories and connect sample preparation with the analytical workflows described in Working Group 1 protocols.

International Poster Exhibition, Bologna, Italy | May 2026
Science Seen Differently: TRANSLACORE in Bologna. In Bologna, science did not stay inside the conference room. It moved into public space, into images, into conversation. The International Poster Exhibition “TRANSLACORE – Where Science Meets Art” created a striking encounter between cancer biology and visual culture, inviting both researchers and the broader public to see translational-control research from a new perspective.
