The Department of Pathology at The Ohio State University operates as the CHTN Midwestern Division (CHTN-MWD), one of the original grantees of the Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN) grant program initiated by the National Cancer Institute. The CHTN-MWD facilitates the use of human tissues in biomedical research, serving academic, industry, and government researchers to advance scientific discoveries and progress in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

With a prospective procurement model, the CHTN-MWD collaborates directly with investigators to tailor tissue-processing methods to meet their research needs, obtaining human tissues and fluids from medically indicated surgical resections, autopsies, and other procedures. The CHTN-MWD, directed by Anil V. Parwani, MD, PhD, MBA, operates as part of a seamless network of CHTN divisions, effectively communicating and networking the needs of investigators to fulfill biospecimen requests across the United States, Canada, and various geographical regions.
