The bank’s organizational structure makes it possible to standardize all human research sample collections created within the framework of the Hospital Clínic, Barcelona – IDIBAPS and organize them in a standard and characteristic manner.
Biobank Objectives
- Obtain and maintain collections of samples for use by the scientific community.
- Manage specific collections for use in research projects which will provide added value to the Biobank of Hospital Clínic – IDIBAPS.
- Support and assist researchers working on human sample collection projects.
Multidisciplinary collaboration is becoming increasingly common among clinical, basic and applied scientists. This is why the Biobank of Hospital Clínic – IDIBAPS has made it possible for samples to be requested from the various collections, offering a complete service platform to those researchers who have requested it. Their mission goes beyond the mere institutional context as they use their support and experience to encourage a new way of organizing research through better characterized and more accessible samples.
