BioBANC na Gaillimhe

"It takes a village to run a biobank"

Biobanking is increasingly recognised as a scientific discipline, rather than just a laboratory resource. Many clinicians and scientific researchers “dabble” in biobanking. However, with evolving ethical and data regulations, expensive laboratory technologies, and already heavy workloads, biobanking can be perceived as exclusive to those with protected research time.

BioBANC na Gaillimhe is a multidisciplinary initiative at the School of Medicine which aims to bring expertise in biobanking together, ultimately making it an inclusive, patient-centered, and efficient research endeavour.
