The Biobank will provide services to the medical-scientific community and in particular to patients/donors.
The Umbria Biobank is expected to adhere to the BBMRI-ERIC, i.e. the European infrastructure of the biomolecular biobanks.
Activities:
- Analysis and reuse of BBMRI-ERIC project resources
- Inventory of the existing collection of biological material, classification of materials and digital archive constitution
- Implementation of the host infrastructure
- Acquisition and management of data related to the new biological material
- Analysis of ethical-legal issues
- Risk recovery Plan
- Management and Design
- Communication, dissemination and promotion of Biobanking activities
- Collaboration between the Umbria biobank and the BBMRI-ERIC network
