Clinical Data Coordinator Cancer Center, BRCF
About The Position
The Clinical Data Coordinator for the Biospecimen Repository works collaboratively with Research Coordinators and Laboratory Coordinators to support the coordination, collection, and management of clinical and translational research data. This role plays a key part in ensuring high‑quality, accurate, and complete data across research projects, with particular responsibility for one primary large‑scale study. The Clinical Data Coordinator will be actively involved in project start‑up activities, patient consenting, longitudinal data tracking, and detailed data reporting to meet research objectives and regulatory requirements. The BioBank at The University of Kansas Cancer Center supports cancer research by serving as a bank for human tissues and fluids, called biospecimens. Biospecimens are small amounts of blood, urine or tissue used for medical research. Researchers use biospecimens and medical information from participants to study how genes, lifestyle and our environment may lead to cancer. The BioBank serves as a valuable resource for researchers at The University of Kansas Cancer Center and potentially around the world. The University of Kansas Cancer Center (KUCC) is the region's only National Cancer Institute designated comprehensive cancer center where patients gain access to the most promising therapies, cutting‑edge clinical trials and world class research.
