Where do the organs and tissue go?
All organs and tissue donated to Science Care are used solely to advance medical research and training. Science Care requires all recipients of human tissue placed through our network to complete a stringent application and transfer agreement in accordance with Science Care’s Tissue Use Policy, which must be approved before researcher requests are considered and filled. The organizations using donated tissue include universities, government agencies, corporate or private medical institutions.
All tissue donated to Life Quest Anatomical is placed with well respected and responsible medical schools, research institutions and many of the nation’s leading hospital and medical centers to provide critical hands-on training and research for physicians across a broad range of specialties.
