Tissue Requests

Brain tissue sample

Research groups are invited to submit proposals for studies utilising these tissues. Host institution ethics approval is required from research groups when requesting tissue. The Scientific Advisory Committee from the NSW Brain Bank Network or NIAAA Scientific Advisory Board will review tissue requests and tissues will be made available based on the validity of the research project and tissue availability.

The NSW TRC operates inline with the Australian Brain Bank Network National Access Policy. A service fee for access is determined for each application and freight charges are the responsibility of the recipient.

View existing approved tissue requests prior to preparing your tissue request application to ensure your proposed request is unique.
