  The Nottingham Bioresource consists of a broad range of samples, including but not limited to tumour tissue, adjacent normal tissue, various biological fluids such as serum, plasma, whole blood urine and saliva. The collection is stored in -80 freezers, in formalin fixed paraffin embedded blocks (FFPE)and slides.

  There is an additional collection of blood and saliva from coronavirus positive patients at our satellite site.

  The Bioresource prospectively collects samples tailored to the academic need.

  Clinical data is obtained only as necessary to enhance the scientific value of the samples for research.

  Full informed consent is in place for all samples in the Bioresource.
