Clinical Transplantation Department

A Tissue Typing Laboratory has been based at Guy's Hospital for over 30 years.

It was presaged by the work of Peter Gorer 'the father of histocompatibility antigens'. He was the first person to describe transplantation antigens and formulate an immunological theory of transplantation.

The Department takes part in National and International quality control exercises and is fully accredited by by UKAS to the ISO15189:2012 Standard, Medical Laboratory number 9568 since 2018, and the European Federation of Immunogenetics since 2008. It is approved for teaching Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics by the Royal College of Pathologists.

Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 9am - 5:00pm.

An oncall system is in place, please contact the Laboratory for further details.
