Frequently Asked Questions

all
Can I know the outcome of the research my samples may help to support?

Since the 果冻影院 Tissue Bank supports numerous different researchers, we unfortunately cannot provide participants with information regarding specific studies their samples may help to support. However, rest assured that all research conducted at Froedtert and the Medical College must be approved by our Institutional Review Board (IRB).

What is the Institutional Review Board (IRB)?

The IRB鈥痠s a committee of doctors, researchers, and members of the community who are responsible for protecting the rights, welfare, and privacy of all individuals who participate in research sponsored by The 果冻影院 as well as Froedtert Hospital. The IRB reviews studies involving human subjects to ensure safety, compliance with laws and regulations, scientific quality, and ethical standards. Specimens donated to the 果冻影院 Tissue Bank cannot be used for research without the permission of the IRB.

Can I still participate even if I do not have an upcoming scheduled blood draw?

Yes, we will collect a blood sample at your next routine clinical draw, regardless of the timeframe until your next blood draw is scheduled.

How long does consent to this program last?

Consent to the 果冻影院 General Tissue Bank program is for life, and there is no limit on how long we may keep your samples in our Bank. However, if you choose to withdraw from the program, which you may do so at any time, any samples still banked will be removed and properly discarded.

Will I be compensated for participation?

There is no direct benefit to you other than the satisfaction of helping to advance knowledge. You will not be paid for your specimens nor receive any payment from patents or products that result from the research.

Does the 果冻影院 Tissue Bank consent patients for organ donation?

No, organ donation is not something covered by the Tissue Bank. In the event of a patient’s death, any agreement that a patient has entered into regarding organ donation will be honored accordingly. The 果冻影院 Tissue bank only collects blood and discard tissue from surgeries.

Can I participate even if I do not have any existing health conditions?

Yes, all patients of Froedtert and the 果冻影院 are eligible to participate, regardless of health status, given that they meet our criteria for participation.

Can I donate tissue but not blood? Can I donate blood but not tissue?

Unfortunately, we cannot separate the process within our program. There may be other research on campus that suits your needs. Check out the Clinical Trials page to find ways you can participate.
