New search tool for researchers now available

The UKCRC Tissue Directory and Coordination Centre (TDCC) is proud to be a partner in launching a new search tool for researchers, which is now available.

ATLAS is a search tool that enables researchers to find information about population cohorts relevant to their research. The tool builds upon the search facility of the UKCRC Tissue Directory by enabling access to detailed, live information about the data associated with tissue samples, held by some of the UK’s largest bioresources, cohort studies and human sample resources already registered in the Tissue Directory.

After the first launch on 26th February, information from three organisations will be available to search through ATLAS: NIHR Bioresource, Generation Scotland and the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).
