The Health Sciences Tissue Bank (HSTB) is funded and operated through a
partnership between the Department of Pathology within the School of Medicine,
the Office of the Senior Vice Chancellor for Health Sciences and
the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI).
The Health Sciences Tissue Bank (HSTB) provides central support for
University of Pittsburgh
research programs needing tissue materials for research from patients
seen at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
(UPMC). The main objectives of
HSTB are: (1) to provide a mechanism to simplify and streamline the process
of research tissue accrual and disbursement, and (2) to provide efficient
research pathology support services. (more)
