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
