Featured Biobank - Human Developmental Biology Resource

The MRC-Wellcome Trust Human Developmental Biology Resource (HDBR) is organised from two sites: the Institute of Genetic Medicine, Newcastle, and the Institute of Child Health, UCL.  The HDBR is an ongoing collection of human embryonic and foetal material ranging from 4 to 14 weeks of development. Tissue and RNA samples are available to the international scientific community. Material can either be sent to registered users or our In House Gene Expression Service (IHGES) can carry out projects on the user's behalf and provide high quality electronic images and interpretation of gene expression patterns. Any gene expression data that emerges from use of the HDBR material is added to our gene expression database which is accessible via our HUDSEN (Human Developmental Studies Network) website.

For further information about the Human Developmental Biology Resource or the In House Gene Expression Service (IHGES), can be found at www.hdbr.org or by contacting the resource  manager at Newcastle  hdbr@ncl.ac.uk or London hdbr@ucl.ac.uk.
