Having your eye enucleated? We have a team now seeking eyeball donations to research.
Surgically removed tumor tissue and cysts, with whatever healthy margin your surgeon needs to take for your health, would be very helpful to research.
Biopsy materials, both fluid and tissue -- all of that is extremely helpful to research.
When someone passes away, NDRI can organize in your area “rapid recovery” of the tissues you are willing to donate, so that the body is ready on time for the funeral, even for an open casket viewing.
