Dear EATB member, dear colleague, welcome to the European Association of Tissue Banks (EATB), a not-for-profit scientific association, bringing together the European and international community of tissue and cell bankers and other related fields (comprising donation, organization/coordination of procurement, processing, storage, quality control, quality assurance and distribution). 
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is currently looking to recruit an Expert for the area of work 'microbial safety of substances of human origin'. Further details are available here
A special issue of Cell and Tissue Banking, focussing on papers presentd at the 2019 EATCB conference in Leiden, has just been published. EATCB members can access the issue free of charge via the members area, alternatively there is a direct link here
It is important that tissue and cell bankers keep themselves updated on the latest developments relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
For the benefit of our members, and the wider tissue and cell banking community, the Board will ensure that the most relevant and up to date information relating to COVID-19 and tissue and cell banking is available here.
The EDQM is carring out a survey on post-mortem blood testing practices in Europe. The board would like to encourage EATCB members to participate in the survey, which closes on June 4th. Please click the link below for further details.
