UK Breast Cancer Campaign Tissue Bank - the first biobank to operate a data-return policy

The Breast Cancer Campaign Tissue Bank was set up in 2010 as part of a coalition of four core academic centres of excellence in breast cancer research across the UK; Barts Cancer Institute, London, and the Universities of Dundee, Leeds and Nottingham, in partnership with the National Health Service. The Tissue Bank is the first widely available specialist breast cancer biobank in the UK. To make the best use of the tissues curated by biobanks, researchers require that tissues are accompanied by well-annotated data. It usually includes anonymized information relating to each tissue donor. Read more here.
