Core B

Skin Translational Research Core (STaR)

The goals of the Skin Translational Research Core (STaR) are to facilitate basic and translational research in skin biology through provision of human skin samples and products.  This includes discarded, deidentified normal and diseased skin, primary human skin cells, engineered organotypic skin culture support, and xenograft studies in mice. The core provides the IRB approvals for the procurement of these tissues.

Important Note: Specialized patient consent processes are necessary for studies that fall under the Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy, this includes all single cell analysis. If the GDS policy applies to your work, contact the the SBDRC at SBDRRC@pennmedicine.upenn.edu before the start of your study to ensure that you are using properly consented tissues. It is the responsibility of the investigator to ensure the use of all SBDRC-provided materials and services are in compliance with the GDS and other applicable NIH policies.
