What this trial studies
This project aims to create a human tissue repository to facilitate biomedical and translational research at the University of Central Florida. By aggregating human tissue samples under a single protocol, the initiative seeks to streamline the acquisition process and improve the availability of viable tissues for laboratory studies. Participants scheduled for surgery can contribute tissue samples while providing demographic and medical information through an online case report form, enhancing data quality for research purposes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals scheduled for surgery or procedures that will result in the removal of human tissue and can provide informed consent.
Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, minors, unable to provide informed consent, or do not understand English may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this biobank could significantly advance research in understanding and treating various human diseases.
How similar studies have performed: Other biobanking initiatives have shown success in enhancing research capabilities, making this approach a well-established method in the field.
