Abstract
This document outlines inclusion and exclusion criteria for healthy participants for the WUSTL Senescence Network (SenNet) by the Tissue Mapping Center (TMC) at Washington University.
Study coordinator will receive surgeon schedules at the beginning of each week. All surgeons should be IRB approved for the study.
Study coordinator will call potential study participants over phone using IRB approved phone script to see if participants are interested. Other option is to approach potential participants in Clinic when they are meeting with surgeon before the surgery date. Discuss with surgeon team which is best option as to not disrupt clinic flow.
Once patient is identified and interested, go over IRB approved consent form with patient. Answer all questions and allow for time if they need to think the process over. Must give patient a signed copy of consent form for their own personal records. Enter subjects into Oncore within 24 hours of consent process.
