Human Tissue Oversight Committee (HTOC)

The HTOC is established to serve as a review body for the use and storage of human tissue.  The HTOC has the authority to review and approve the collection, reporting, distribution and transfer of the Research Tissues held in those repositories, whether intra‐institutionally or with the researchers or entities outside of the UNM HSC, and ensure compliance with Policy RC.05.002.PP – Oversight of Human Tissue in Research.
