Biobanks collect, store and process human biomaterial samples such as blood or tissue in a quality-assured and data protection-compliant manner and make them available for research. Photo: German Biobank Node - BioBank Bonn is a new partner in the German Biobank Alliance (GBA), a network of academic biobanks. The aim of the alliance is to provide cross-location collections of biosamples for medical research and thus accelerate the development of new therapies. To this end, the participating biobanks are establishing common quality standards and building a networked IT structure. Biobanks collect, process and store human biosamples such as blood or tissue. Precision medicine uses data from genetic or molecular research in order to use the right therapy for a patient at the right time. Biobanks are an important prerequisite for precision medicine.
