Summary

Research scientists of the University of Central Florida College of Medicine (COM) and Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences (BSBS) conduct laboratory studies in biomedical and translational medical research for the purpose of understanding human disease and developing innovative methods for diagnosing, measuring, or treating disease or disease symptoms. The key research divisions are cancer, cardiovascular, immunity and pathogenesis, neuroscience, and molecular microbiology.

Detailed description

The goal of this human tissue repository protocol is to aggregate resources and streamline the acquisition of human tissue. It is optimal for the advancement of biomedical and translational medical research that the human tissue be received under one protocol by the College of Medicine's the Clinical \& Aerospace Health Research team and transferred to the COM/BSBS research scientists for laboratory testing. This aggregation of efforts and resources through a human tissue repository protocol allows for: 1. Improvements in biomedical and translational medical research by availability of viable human tissues. 2. Reduced recruitment and enrollment burden on the Clinical \& Aerospace Health Research team and the participants via pooled recruitment. Further, participants will only need to provide one informed consent. Received human tissue may be used for multiple protocols. 3. Improved data for analysis as participants will complete an online case report form containing basic demographic data; planned location and date of upcoming surgery or procedure; diagnosis; name of surgeon/doctor for the planned surgery or procedure; type of surgery or procedure; medical data; medical history; and surgery history.
