Open Access Biobanks at UCL
18th April
Institute of Child Health
Kennedy Lecture Theatre
The Open Access Biobanks@UCL event took place on 18 April
and providing information about the biobank resources available at UCL. The day,
which was hosted by the UCL Reproduction and Development Domain, marked
the launch of the new UCL BioResource.
There are a range of biobanks at UCL providing services and access to a range of sample types, this event provided more information about biobanking, what is available and some of the work being done using human tissue.
The UCL BioResource is one of 7 centres which will form part of the NIHR National BioResource. The UCL BioRescource will have access to samples and data from 10,000 of the unique population of volunteers and patients, from UCL 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
