Private human tissue processing and storage bank in the UK based in Plymouth on the medical campus of Derriford Hospital, Europe''s 4th largest teaching hospital. The company was set up to serve the UK and private health sectors looking to outsource the processing and storage of human tissue to an accredited, trusted and experienced expert. Storing for human application, they now process and store human tissue for organizations all over the world, including the Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust. They are also the only private tissue bank of any true scale in the UK with the ability to store well over 1 million human tissue samples on one site. BioVault has achieved a number of accreditations and forged relationships with numerous bodies since 2002, all designed to test the robustness of our internal procedures and reassure clients they are being given the highest levels of quality and service. Many of BioVault''s pioneering systems have been designed to exceed the criteria set out by the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) with whom we work closely. The HTA is the competent authority under the European Tissue and Cell Directive and sets the standards for regulating human tissue application establishments.

A structured, controlled vocabulary of the anatomy and development of the African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis and tropicalis), organized in a graphical structure. Tissues are shown as being part of other tissues and the timing of their development is indicated by start and end stages. The lineage of tissues is represented by develops from relationships between different tissues at different developmental stages. Many items have been classified according to the Common Anatomy Reference Ontology. The Xenopus Anatomical Ontology will be used to annotate Xenopus gene expression patterns and mutant and morphant phenotypes. Its robust developmental map will enable powerful database searches and data analyses. They encourage community recommendations for updates and improvements to the ontology.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 31, 2016. The MCG Tumor Tissue and Serum Repository or tumor bank, located in the Department of Pathology, Murphey Pathology Building, was established with support from the Georgia Cancer Coalition (GCC). Its mission is to provide researchers access to high quality annotated specimens, an essential requirement for cancer research. The repository collection includes a variety of specimen types, such as tumor tissue and cells, blood and other biofluids as well as normal specimens used as controls. The quality of all specimens is reviewed by a pathologist, and the information is captured in the tumor bank''s database. An imaging system will be used in the future to capture this information. Human-derived specimens are a very precious resource, and therefore the operations of the tumor bank are overseen by an advisory board, representing GHSU and other stakeholders, to ensure that the specimens are properly utilized and the privacy of specimen donors is protected.

Genopole is France''s leading biotech-and biotherapy-dedicated science and business park. The Genopole project was initiated in 1998 in the town of Evry-Corbeil, under the impetus of the French government, Ile-de-France Regional Council, Essonne County Council and the French Muscular Dystrophy Association (Association Francaise contre les Myopathies, AFM); the goal was to create France''s first ever science and business park dedicated to genomics, genetics and biotech and help the country to catch up with its international rivals in these fields. Its threefold mission is 1. to develop a high-level research campus in genomics and post-genomics, focused on gene therapy in collaboration with the University Evry Val d''Essonne; 2. encourage the start-up and foster the development of biotech companies in the Paris region by providing personalized advice and support, including financial assistance and 3. create a biopark in Evry-Corbeil in collaboration with the research campus. In addition to constant support from its founding members and other partners, Genopole''s success is largely based on the novelty of its approach: bringing together public-and private-sector research labs, university teaching facilities and life science start-ups on a single campus in EvryCorbeil. In collaboration with France''s national research institutes and the Paris Ile-de-France region''s universities, Genopole hosts and equips academic research units specializing in genetics, genomics and related sciences. Genopole also stimulates scientific life on the biopark by coordinating and organizing high-level teaching & training programs, seminars, symposia, business clubs and much more.

The Wales Cancer Bank aims to collect samples of tumour, normal tissue and blood from all patients in Wales who are undergoing an operation to remove tissue where cancer is a possible diagnosis. These samples will be banked to build up a research resource that will be used by research groups to help understand the molecular mechanisms involved in cancer and work towards the selection of optimum targeted treatment for individuals. The Wales Cancer Bank is licensed by the Human Tissue Authority (license 12107) to store human tissue for research and has ethics approval from the Wales Multicentre Research Ethics Committee to collect and issue samples for cancer related research.

The internet-laboratory will present records (publications) of the group of theorist researches, who joined their efforts for collective intellectual works with the goal to understand the mechanisms of operation of human brain in general and in all details, which are necessary for the subsequent artificial re-creation of these mechanisms. The main initial task of the laboratory will be creation of open-access scientific, technological and engineering internet-resource in a form of a specialized database of knowledge on mechanisms of brain work. It is supposed that as a result of the planned work at the end of 2015 the project''s team will elaborate the full detailed description of the mechanisms of human brain. It will be possible to use this description to make (in yrs. 2018-2020) a full scale working analog of the human brain, based on technological (not biological) informational elements and devices. At the present stage the team for the project is under formation. It will include 21 persons of an advanced research level with background in physics and biophysics. The whole work will be divided into overlapping zones of responsibility. All basic elements of the project will be discussed in detail at general sessions of the team and in local group consultations. * Preliminary stage (2011-2012): The main working instrument of the project at this stage will be the internet-laboratory. * The working stage (2013-2015): The forming of the program and of the methods of work will proceed in the course of the preliminary stage of the project. To apply for taking part in the project please write to: shkolamozg (at) ru.ru (Only serious suggestions will be considered).

Wardwiki is a wiki designed to give free advice to foundation doctors (also know as interns) to help with practical issues as they arise on hospital wards. Despite the proliferation of medical websites and expensive courses there remains a large gap in provision of practical, experience based guidance to help foundation doctors survive the first two years on the wards. You may search for topics of interest but there are also sections including Popular Topics, Popular Categories, Top 25 articles, and Featured article. It is the responsibility of each foundation doctor to ensure their actions, referrals and prescriptions are accurate. These pages are written and maintained to the best ability of the contributing authors. We encourage any contributions be well founded, accurate, in good faith, without endorsement of medical products or opinions, and not to breach existing copyright. WardWiki cannot accept liability for adverse events that may arise directly or indirectly from advice given.
