Ethitex is an e-business tool that allows
researchers to share tissue resources with other researchers.
Ethitex is designed to help researchers to comply with the
Australian National Health and Medical Research Council’s (NHMRC)
edict:
"Where practicable, tissue from animals being killed should be shared among investigators and teachers..."1
Whilst the NHMRC’s jurisdiction is Australian, the values that inspire this edict are
held throughout the world.
A research institution will license Ethitex for the benefit of all
researchers that are associated with the institution. Resources will
be shared within the institution as well as across institution
boundaries. It will even be possible to share rare resources
internationally.
The use of Ethitex by an institution will represent a commitment by
the institution to the promotion of ethical research practices.
