Research Tissue Bank
Among the most valuable resources to our investigators is human tissue for use in basic science, translational, and clinical studies, and clinical trials.
The Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology is committed to furthering the research of all UNMC investigators and assisting faculty in accessing the material they need. Listed below are the requirements and departmental personnel to facilitate requests for tissue from UNMC tissue banks and the clinical archives for various purposes. Benjamin Swanson, MD, PhD, is the medical service director for the department's research tissue bank.
