Oral, Intestinal and Systemic Health Theme Lead
The dentistry research and teaching biorepository (DRTB) is a collection of human tissue and other biological material that is stored and released for potential research use. We ask people to donate tissue samples (such as waste teeth, blood or saliva) and information about themselves and their health that will enable us both educate the scientists and dentists of tomorrow and to help in our mission to improve healthcare by scientific research.
Samples such as waste tissue left over after a dental procedure or fluids like saliva or blood are used in our teaching and research activities.
