Boston hospital to sell leftover patient tissue

Updated 9:37 AM ET September 1, 2000

BOSTON (Reuters) - Starting next week, patients at a Boston hospital will be asked to allow leftover
tissue from their surgeries to be sold to genetic researchers around the world.

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has agreed to participate in a project with biotech start-up Ardais
Corp. of Lexington, Mass., to use genetic research to find cures to disease, Ardais said in a statement.

Ardais said it hopes eventually to create a massive tissue catalog, allowing researchers to place Internet
orders for tissue samples from patients with the specific diseases they are studying.

Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, also has an agreement with Ardais, which
expects to sign up other medical institutions, the company said.
