Participants and families

We’re searching for cures for cancers in the young. You can help.

The future of cancer treatments tomorrow, relies on the research we can do today. So if more people can bank tissue samples with VIVO, we’ll be able to support ground-breaking research that enables new and more effective ways to treat childhood and youth cancers.

An Introduction to Biobanking with VIVO

Find out how VIVO Biobank collects and stores donated samples and data, and how these contributions are helping researchers improve treatment and care for children and young people with cancer.

Biobanking Consent, Confidentiality and Research Ethics

It’s completely normal to have questions about biobanking consent, confidentiality and how donated samples are used in research.  In this video, we answer some of the most common questions about VIVO Biobank and explain how your choices and information are protected.

By sharing your sample, you can help create a future where other young people don’t have to face what you’re going through today.
