What We Do

ETHICAL TISSUE procures a wide variety of tissue from both living and deceased donors and operates on a 24 hour a day basis, providing biomedical researchers in industry and academia with fresh and frozen tissues and processed products.

Human tissue is vital for research into a wide range of diseases including cancer, cardio-vascular, neurological (e.g. Alzheimers), diabetes, arthritis and pulmonary diseases.

All human tissue collected, stored, used and distributed for biomedical research by ETHICAL TISSUE is handled within the conditions of the ethical approval gained, in accordance with the requirements of the Human Tissue Act 2004 and under the governance of the Human Tissue Authority Licence granted in 2007.

ETHICAL TISSUE operates on a cost recovery, not-for-profit basis and so a charge is made for the cost of acquisition, processing and supply of material.
