in fact most researchers prefer either a core or an already "sliced" slide

Both require tiny bits of tissue--but if you are someone who had DCIS with microinvasion or a 2mm tumor, it might not seem so insubstantial

I got my first reply from the three emails I sent:

It was nice meeting you again in San Antonio. When you have a more detailed proposal please forward it to me. I did discuss the general idea with the head of our bioinformatics and she will be glad to further discuss the proposition, once we have more details. Of course we need to make sure that if and when material will be collected, it will be via appropriate means, i.e., transferring it from one institute directly to the other, to allow high fidelity of the material.

I am waiting for a reply from the gentleman from Washington University who supplies tissues to researchers,

Not a good season to get prompt replies, but...I am thrilled that there are now 29 replies on this thread and it is only 4 days old.
