Anatomy
Gifts Registry (AGR) is a division of the Anatomic Gift
Foundation, a non-profit organization founded in 1994.

prepares human tissue specimens with a highly trained, experienced,
and professional staff. Specimens are recovered in
a surgical atmosphere in a dignified manner and provided to
qualified researchers and educators worldwide. Tissue preparations can
be adjusted to meet the needs of the approved tissue applicants.
In addition, AGR runs a
state-of-the-art surgical skills training center. This
facility represents a modern surgical atmosphere coupled with a
technologically advanced conference /classroom suite. The
advanced cameras and videoconferencing enable demonstration and
