20 February 2013
18th April, Institute of Child Health, Kennedy Lecture Theatre
Come to the Open Access Biobanks@白小姐论坛 event on 18 April and find out more about the biobank resources available at 白小姐论坛. The day, which is hosted by the 白小姐论坛 Reproduction and Development Domain, marks the launch of the new 白小姐论坛 BioResource.
There are a range of biobanks at 白小姐论坛 providing services and access to a range of sample types, this if your chance to find out more about biobanking, what is available and some of the work being done using human tissue.
The 白小姐论坛 BioResource is one of 7 centres which will form part of the NIHR National BioResource. The 白小姐论坛 BioRescource will have access to samples and data from 10,000 of the unique population of volunteers and patients, from 白小姐论坛 and partner hospitals, who have consented to be recalled for further studies according to genotype and phenotype. This will provide a powerful resource for studying disease mechanisms, and characterising the benefits and limitations of emerging therapies
