The Erasmus MC Virtual Tissue Bank is embedded in the department of Pathology. The collection is meant for medical research purposes only. This concerns a typical clinical based pathology biobank. Tissue samples left over from surgical resection specimen are stored under liquid nitrogen and can be requested by Erasmus MC scientists for medical scientific experiments. An application has been developed to enable scientists to search the collection on-line and request tissue samples over the Erasmus MC Intranet. Every request shall be judged according to procedures determined by the Erasmus MC Tissue Bank. A growing need is anticipated for large collections of well-diagnosed fresh frozen tumor tissue and, if available, corresponding pre-malignant and normal tissue samples. Scientific research on patient residual material has to comply with strict rules and regulations. Equipment The Erasmus MC Tissue bank manages the PALM microdissection laser for the center for Biomics, which is available through the center for Biomics ONLY after having followed an introduction course. Additionally, a complete TMA (Tissue Micro Array) platform, fully funded by the Josephine Nefkens Stichting, consisting of a Beecher Automated Tissue Arrayer ATA 27 and a Virtual Microscope or Nanozoomer from Hamamatsu and Medical Solutions with TMA analyses software strongly supports translational research on tissue samples. Complete histologic Images from the Virtual Microscope are available within the Erasmus MC Intranet or available on the Internet either by overview or a direct example.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented September 2, 2016. A clinical database and PTB were created in 1990 and 2000, respectively, to collect clinical information and biospecimens from patients with suspected or confirmed pancreatic cancer, other pancreatic diseases, and tumors of the duodenum, ampulla of Vater, and distal bile duct. Standard procedures for biospecimen collection and data entry were developed. The use of human tissue for research is an invaluable tool to understand the basic mechanisms of tumor biology, which will hopefully lead to the development of new therapeutic approaches to pancreatic cancer treatment. The cornerstone of any large translational research program is the development of an accurate and comprehensive tumor bank. All tumors removed in the operating room are sampled for careful pathologic study and the remainder of the tumor is promptly stored in our Pancreas Tissue Bank (PTB) to be used for research. Other samples, including blood, pancreatic juice and biopsy material, can also be utilized to identify early markers for pancreatic cancer. The molecular profile of tumors in the PTB can be linked to information in our clinical database to provide insight on the relationship between molecular events and clinical outcome. Patients may contribute to the tissue banking effort by choosing to participate in select research protocols. Protecting patient privacy is of great importance and thus, to maintain the confidentiality of health information, the PTB complies with all federal and institutional regulations governing research with human participants.

A Web-based tool that allows users to input a set of exonic variants to score them for a number of features (such as changes in splicing regulatory elements) that have been shown to be predictive of known genome variations that cause exon skipping or activation of ectopic splice sites. In this way, variants can be either prioritized for further splicing-based functional analysis or the results can be used as further genomic evidence in cases in which the causative variant is already known.

United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the private, non-profit organization that manages the nation''s organ transplant system under contract with the federal government. UNOS is involved in many aspects of the organ transplant and donation process: * Managing the national transplant waiting list, matching donors to recipients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. * Maintaining the database that contains all organ transplant data for every transplant event that occurs in the U.S. * Bring together members to develop policies that make the best use of the limited supply of organs and give all patients a fair chance at receiving the organ they need, regardless of age, sex, ethnicity, religion, lifestyle or financial/social status. * Monitoring every organ match to ensure organ allocation policies are followed. * Provides assistance to patients, family members and friends. * Educates transplant professionals about their important role in the donation and transplant processes. * Educating the public about the importance of organ donation. UNOS was first awarded the national Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) contract in 1986 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. UNOS continues as the only organization ever to operate the OPTN. As part of the OPTN contract, UNOS has: * established an organ sharing system that maximizes the efficient use of deceased organs through equitable and timely allocation * established a system to collect, store, analyze and publish data pertaining to the patient waiting list, organ matching, and transplants * informed, consulted and guided persons and organizations concerned with human organ transplantation in order to increase the number of organs available for transplantation

Tennessee Donor Services (TDS) is a nonprofit, independent organization authorized by the Federal Government to accept anatomical gifts for transplantation and research. Its mission is to support families in our communities who have sustained the loss of a loved one by providing an opportunity for organ, eye and tissue donation and by facilitating the recovery and transplantation of these gifts to help others in need. In our area (TN & VA), over 4,600 people now wait for an organ transplant, (heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, intestine or pancreas). Annually, our service area has approximately 300 people who donate one or more organs upon death and over 900 who donate corneas and/or tissues annually. The need for transplants far exceeds the number of donations in the area covered by TDS, and across the nation. Currently, in the United States, more than 108,000 people wait for an organ transplant. One third of them will die waiting for a transplant. TDS'' designated service area includes 84 counties in Tennessee, 10 counties in Virginia, 3 counties in Georgia and 1 county in Kentucky.

NDRI actively recovers a diverse range of normal and diseased human tissues for biomedical researchers. We have recently implemented a new program to make human dorsal root ganglia (DRG) available for your research studies. The dorsal root ganglia contain cell bodies of afferent (inbound) neurons, and transmit pain and temperature sensations from the body. DRGs from C5 through L5 regions will be available. DRGs will be recovered under operating room conditions with a low post mortem interval to preservation and can be shipped at 4 degrees C, snap-frozen or fixed. Detailed medical-social history information is provided for each donor. If you are interested in obtaining these specimens, please contact me at your earliest convenience. Current NDRI researchers can immediately request these samples. Non-NDRI researchers need to submit a researcher application. * The program provides a reliable source of human DRG neurons that can be utilized for: Electrophysiology analysis, Live cell imaging studies * Low PMI yields high quality samples that are suitable for rigorous molecular applications: Deep sequencing analysis, In situ hybridization, Micro-array analysis * DRGs from C5 through L5 regions will be available. * The tissue fee for this program is 500 dollars per DRG * Customizable-- the researcher determines the DRG location and quantity that is needed for their research.
