The GCU Skin Research Tissue Bank provides annotated normal and diabetic skin tissue samples to support research into human skin disease. We operate closely with the NHSGGC Biorepository alongside our NHS Consultants. All acquisition of tissue complies with Governance approved by the Biorepository who have oversight in supporting tissue collection and anonymisation of samples. Our ethical oversight and approval (21/WS/0088) is currently valid until July 2026. The GCU Skin Tissue Bank holds fixed and frozen tissue along with fibroblasts and keratinocytes derived from donor samples.
