About the Human Tissue Authority…

The Human Tissue Authority’s (HTA’s) primary goal is to protect public and professional confidence in the safe and ethical use of human tissue. The HTA is the national independent regulator for organisations that remove, store and use tissue for research, medical treatment, post-mortem examination, teaching and display in public. We also give approval for organ and bone marrow donations from living people. With the interests of the public and those we regulate at the centre of our work, we aim to maintain confidence by ensuring that human tissue is used safely and ethically, with proper consent.

The pace of innovation in cell, tissue and organ-based therapies, in life sciences research and the use of digital imaging and artificial intelligence in pathology have the potential to impact hugely on the way the sectors we regulate work and in turn how the HTA itself must operate.

The HTA has an ambitious vision and strategy for the next three years centered on achieving greater sustainability, agility and resilience in our operations.
