Overview
The West Virginia University Tissue Bank collects a wide variety of normal and diseased tissue from surgical resections and autopsies with Institutional Review Board approval and patient consent. Skilled technologists work with surgeons, pathologists, and researchers to maximize the scientific value and
quality of acquired tissue. They oversee designation of tissue so investigators can correlate pathologic features with their data while maintaining patient confidentiality. The Tissue Bank is willing to work closely with researchers needing customized tissue collection to meet their study goals.
