Donate your body to science
February 1st, 2021: Temporarily no acceptance of body donations
Due to the covid-19 crisis, at the moment there is only very limited practical education and research in the Anatomy department.
For this reason, we cannot accept any body donations for the time being.
How to donate your body
At this moment the Erasmus MC body donation program is closed for new registrations.
If you have any questions please fill in our contact form or contact us at +31 10 704 32 79.
Leftover tissue
During the course of a treatment patients regularly need to provide cell or tissue samples. These body material samples will be used to identify the medical condition. Some of the leftover cells and/or tissue will be stored. The rest will be destroyed.
In some cases leftover tissue will be stored for medical research. The leaflet Leftover tissue for medical research (Dutch only) will provide you with information on the rules that apply and your rights as a patient.
