ACCESSING SAMPLES / APPLICATIONS

Donate For Research Initiative (DRI) is able to supply human tissues to researchers globally in the Academic or Commercial sector.

The status carried by DRI means that you are able to source human tissues from us using our internal Scientific Review Board application process, streamlining the pathway whilst remaining completely compliant with all ethical and legal requirements in the UK. You will not need your own ethics documentation, or a HTA license.
