Abstract
The York Tissue Bank was established in 2013 at the University of York as a repository for cells and tissues to facilitate clinical and translational research at the university and with collaborative external tissue bank applicants. The bioresource described in this publication was initially established to conduct investigations into infection processes of sexually transmitted diseases in ex vivo organotypical models, specifically in uterine cervical tissue. Healthy human uterine cervical tissue is currently available to suitable applicants for ethically approved scientific research meeting the access criteria of the York tissue bank management committee.
Funding statement: Funding to support the bioresource is from University of York.
