“The Liverpool Bio-Innovation Hub (LBIH) Biobank is an exciting new collaborative venture, the aim of which is to bring together current biobanks and tissue collections, based in the University of Liverpool, to form one amalgamated Biobank. This collaboration has been match funded by the University of Liverpool and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

The Liverpool Tissue Bank (LTB) was one of the first of the existing University of Liverpool biobanks to join the collaboration. The LTB was formerly known as the Cancer Tissue Bank Research Centre (CTBRC) and changed to the LTB in late 2009. The Tissue Bank was established in 1993 from a charitable donation by the Candis Club, the charitable arm of Candis Magazine."
