UCF Biobank: donating tissue for future research
This study is building a biobank—a collection of donated tissue samples—to help researchers better understand diseases and find new treatments. If you are having surgery that removes tissue, you may be able to donate a small part of that tissue for research.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can read and understand English.
- You are scheduled for a surgery or procedure that will remove some tissue (like a biopsy or organ removal).
- You are not pregnant.
- You are able to give your own consent to participate.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not currently in prison.
