Human Tissue for Research

Virtually every human organ and anatomical specimen is needed for medical research. Everyday heroes donate these tissues to assist in the discovery of cures and remedies to ensure better health for all. The International Institute for the Advancement of Medicine (IIAM) links organ and tissue donors with the scientific community. After securing the appropriate consent, IIAM provides non-transplantable organs and tissues to researchers for use in medical discovery and education. All areas are served including: physicians, researchers and scientists in academic, pharmaceutical, governmental and biotech institutions.
