Archived human tissue available from BIOS
With appropriate IRB approval, the UCSF Biospecimen Resources Program (BIOS) is able to identify and retrieve archived human tissue blocks for Center members. Prospective users needing tissue specimens only, without patient identifiers or detailed clinical data, can request retrival and sectioning of coded tissue blocks under the BIOS IRB. Tissue microarrays can be prepared upon request.
To learn more about obtaining archived human tissue, please see the sample retrieval section of the BIOS program here.
The Liver Center discounts this service for its members by subsidizing a portion of the cost of tissue retrieval. If you wish to receive the Liver Center discount, please contact the Liver Center administration here before scheduling work.
