The Australian Donation and Transplantation Biobank (ADTB) works with DonateLife Victoria and the Victorian and Tasmanian Organ Retrieval Service at Austin Health to give donor families the opportunity to donate their loved one’s samples to medical research when the organs are not used for transplantation.

 

ADTB is an open access biobanking resource and researchers can apply to use donated samples in medical and scientific research. Research projects must meet standard ethical and scientific requirements before donated samples are provided.
