Welcome to the Tayside Tissue Bank - Dundee

Tayside Tissue Bank is a secure bio-repository which holds small samples of surplus tissue and other specimens generously donated by patients who have undergone surgery or other more minor medical procedures during the course of their investigations and treatment. Such samples are vital for medical researchers seeking to improve the detection and treatment of many different diseases as well as advance our understanding of how and why they arise.

  • Introduction

    This website is for both patients who wish to know more about how their tissue is used and for researchers who wish to explore the possibility of utilising the donations kindly made by patients to advance medical research. It also explains some of the additional services the Tissue Bank provides to support research programmes.
