Donor Hub
Donating a sample to the Australian Human Microbiome Biobank is a simple, safe and meaningful way to support health research. Whether you are considering donating for the first time, want to understand how your sample will be used or need information about your rights as a participant, you will find everything you need here.
Find out what donating a sample to AHMB involves, what happens to your donation, what sample types we collect and answers to the most common questions from donors.
Learn about how we protect your privacy, the ethical framework we operate under, your rights as a participant and how to access or withdraw your consent at any time.
AHMB collects only microorganisms — never human cells or DNA. Your genetic information is never stored or tested.
Your personal details are removed before any scientific work begins. No researcher can ever identify who donated a sample.
Participation is entirely voluntary. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting our team.
Register your interest and our team will be in touch when we are accepting donations.
