German Biobank Alliance
In 2017, biobanks at eleven German university hospitals and two IT development centres joined forces under the umbrella of the German Biobank Node (GBN) to form the German Biobank Alliance (GBA), further biobank sites have been added since 2019. As of 2025, the GBA comprises biobanks at 37 locations and an IT development centre. The GBA biobanks establish uniform quality standards and make their human samples available for biomedical research throughout Europe via a central search portal, the Sample Locator.
