Ethical Tissue at Work

ETHICAL TISSUE is a research tissue bank, licensed by the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) to collect, store and supply a wide range of human tissue,

cells and fluids to biomedical research groups in academia and industry.  

ETHICAL TISSUE offers a new way of providing the research community with access to human tissue -

  • Researchers receiving samples from ETHICAL TISSUE are NOT required to have individual project based ethical approval from the National Research Ethics Services (NRES).
  • Once applications have been approved by ETHICAL TISSUE, bio-samples can be issued to researchers throughout the UK and abroad.
  • Bio-samples can be sourced throughout the UK and abroad.
  • Ethical approval status ensures that tissue can be made available in the shortest time period and with minimum paper work.

Ethical approval status makes Ethical Tissue a leader amongst current sources of human tissue for research purposes...
