How to Access Tissues and Data from the Cardiovascular Biobank
  1. You must present your research proposal to the Cardiovascular Scientific Advisory Committee:
    • Contact Gurpreet Singhera to set up this meeting time.
    • The advisory committee will then vote on your project. If successful then:
  2. Obtain ethics approval.
  3. Once number 1 and 2 have been fulfilled, complete the forms below to request your tissue.
Things to Think About
  • Some “test” tissues for pilot projects, protocol development (results from these cannot be used in publication without ethics approval).
  • Method development DOES NOT EQUAL control blood for your study (you cannot use this consent form to enroll actual control patients for your study, you must have ethics approval).
