Description: The UCL/UCLH Biobank for Studying Health and Disease has been primarily established to support the Research Programme and scientific needs, of the Pathology Department UCLH & the UCL Cancer Institute. The establishment of the core programme enables a centralised approach to the management and integration of all research groups working within these institutions, providing appropriate structure and support. The biobank has policies and guidelines to guarantee compliance with HTA legislation and to ensure quality standards will be maintained. The biobank stores normal and pathological specimens, surplus to diagnostic requirements, from relevant tissues and bodily fluids, as well as human tissue used in xenograft experiments. Stored tissues include; snap-frozen or cryopreserved tissue, formalin-fixed tissue, paraffin-embedded tissues, and slides prepared for histological examination. Tissues include resection specimens obtained surgically or by needle core biopsy. Bodily fluids include; whole blood, serum, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, milk, saliva and buccal smears and cytological specimens such as sputum and cervical smears. Fine needle aspirates obtained from tissues and bodily cavities (eg. pleura and peritoneum) are also collected. Where appropriate the biobank also stores separated cells, protein, DNA and RNA isolated from collected tissues and bodily fluids described above. Some of the tissue and aspirated samples are stored in the diagnostic archive.
