General Aspects of Access to Biological Samples and Data for Use in Research

onCore UK worked with the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI),   the National Cancer Intelligence Network (NCIN) and Cancer Researtch UK to develop a practical tool for the development of biosample and data access policies and material transfer agreements .  This “template” document has been published and is available for download, along with information about the consultation that took place to inform the development of the template and the press release that announced the publication of the template.  

Access to Biosamples held by onCore UK

We make samples available for scientifically and ethically approved research on a cost-recovery basis.

onCore UK has transitioned away from being an active biobank (see statement on our change of remit), and available samples have been allocated to researchers.

If you are a researcher looking for samples please visit the NCRI's new on-line Cancer Biosample Resources Directory.
