We make sure we follow standard medical care and protect the donors’ privacy. All human tissues are collected under IRB and HIPPA approved protocols. All animal tissues are collected under IACUC protocol. All samples have been tested negative for HIV and Hepatitis B or their counterparts in animals, and approved for commercial product development.
