There is in fact The Comparative Human Tissue Network based right in
Columbus, Ohio. The address is:
Cooperative Human Tissue Network
Northwestern Division
410 West 10th Avenue N-535 Doan Hall
Columbus, Ohio 43210
They match tissue samples available with researchers who need tissue.
I have obtained some rare tissues from them for my research. There
charges are minimal (like $15.00 plus shipping).
