I proposing human subjects research if my studies will use ONLY cell lines?
FAQs - FAQs about Research Using Human Specimens, Cell Lines...Research that proposes the use of human cell lines available from the American Type Culture Collection or a similar repository is not considered human subjects research because the cells are publicly available and all of the information known about the cell lines (perhaps, including the donor) is also publicly available.

New Mexico Tech Institutional Review Board (IRB) -- Frequent...Federal regulations require that research on human participants be conducted ethically and responsibly. The rights and welfare of human subjects must be adequately protected during all phases of the research project, from inception through data collection, data analysis, writing up of results, and storage of the collected data at the project's completion.
Related QuestionsDo all human research studies use PHI?
UCSF Human Research Protection Program - CHR - HIPAA - Frequ...No. Some research studies do not collect PHI for their project or for the recruitment of their research subjects. For example, anonymous surveys and observational studies that do not collect identifiers do not use PHI. Another example would be non-medical studies that recruit subjects through advertisements or flyers where no PHI was accessed for recruitment or collected for the study. If your study does not use PHI, then it will not be affected by the new HIPAA regulations.

Related QuestionsWhy do scientists want to use stem cell lines?
FAQs [Stem Cell Information]Once a stem cell line is established from a cell in the body, it is essentially immortal, no matter how it was derived. That is, the researcher using the line will not have to go through the rigorous procedure necessary to isolate stem cells again. Once established, a cell line can be grown in the laboratory indefinitely and cells may be frozen for storage or distribution to other researchers.
