Biobanking

We are developing standards and solutions for the next generation of biobanking under the umbrella of GBN.

Common IT structures, harmonised quality standards as well as legal and ethical standards are the cornerstones for more efficient scientific research.

Stakeholder Engagement

Biobanks need the commitment and involvement of diverse stakeholders.

Quality Management

The quality of biomaterials is of paramount importance for biomedical research.

IT

GBN is building an IT infrastructure to enable data exchange on a national and international level.

ELSI

Technological innovations in biobanking raise new ethical, legal and social questions.

Training and Education

Biobanks need qualified personnel to ensure a high sample quality.

“Isolating DNA from blood and determining quality and quantity” was the subject of the third on-site training session, which took place in Hanover on two dates in January.
