Obtaining Human Stem Cell Lines

Obtaining Human Stem Cell Lines

You may find a step by step guide to obtaining human stem cell lines from the UKSCB on the How to to Access Human Stem Cell Lines page.

 

The UK Steering Committee which oversees the activities of the UKSCB and the use of human stem cell lines in the UK approves all successful applications to obtain stem cell lines from the UKSCB. You must submit your application to the UK Steering Committee and not to the UKSCB. Details on application submission and the supporting information which must accompany the application can be found on the application to access form.

 

Subject to written approval from the UK Steering Committee, applicants will need to sign a legal Agreement. The Bank regrets it is unable to release cells to requestors without copies of the appropriate signed agreements first having been presented to the Bank. Information on which legal agreement is required can be obtained by contacting the UKSCB enquiries.

 

To avoid delays, requestors are advised to review all necessary legal agreements as advised by the UKSCB while their application is being considered by the UK Steering Committee.
