Prospective new members of the CCB are welcome.

Eligibility

Any organisation based in the UK, which collects and distributes biosamples for cancer research (not necessarily in the UK), may apply to join. The NCRI also encourages new banks that are planning to collect and distribute materials, to join at an early stage of setting up.

Visit the membership pages of the CCB website for more information: http://www.ncri.org.uk/ccb/howtojoin.html or contact ccb@ncri.org.uk
