Join us on Thursday, February 19, 2026 at 3:00 pm for our next Third Thursdays with the ICTR lecture to learn about OpenSpecimen. OpenSpecimen is a biospecimen information management system that serves as a scalable solution for biorepositories and also meets the needs of a broad group of investigators and biobanks.

OpenSpecimen:

• enables annotation of research and clinical data, specimen and derivative tracking, event monitoring, and Epic-enabled patient lookup;
• provides a scalable solution for managing biospecimen metadata; and
• is recognized as a Tier A best practice by the Data Trust’s Research Sub-council for storing biospecimen metadata, including PHI.

Speaker Bob Lange, Project Leader for the ICTR Informatics Core will provide a high-level overview of OpenSpecimen functionality and show real-world examples of OpenSpecimen workflows used at Johns Hopkins.
