2. STAFF CONDUCTING RESEARCH WITH HUMAN TISSUE
Biochemistry staff working with human tissue samples must complete appropriate training for their roles. Be sure to check with your supervisor or Safety Office (safety@bioch.ox.ac.uk) about any specific training requirements for your projects.
See general information about all CTRG-provided training and other ethics training supported by the University.
If you are carrying out research involving human tissue samples (not cell lines), you will also need to complete mandatory HTA training, even if you have no contact with samples themselves.
