  Samples will be obtained from adults who have or are participating in research studies within Nottingham Digestive Diseases Centre (Healthy Volunteers & Patients) and also from those patients attending clinics as part of their standard clinical care - The following consented sample types will be collected and stored:
  Plasma, Sera, Urine, Stool, whole blood, DNA, RNA.
  We also plan to collect, store and use any surplus liver tissue from patients that have had liver resection or biopsy samples taken as part of their clinical care – samples will take the form of fresh, frozen or wax embedded blocks and include any archived paraffin sections taken previously as part of clinical care.
