Aiming to help scientists to access the large prospective study sets,
BBMRI-LPC forms a unique network in biological and medical science. The sample collections and data, the know-how, and the existing infrastructures of BBMRI (Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources Research Infrastructure) and IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) are integrated in attempts to battle disease and build a healthier Europe.
BBMRI-LPC missions to
HARMONIZE
-
evaluate and improve the harmonization of health, lifestyle and other exposure data
-
develop and implement harmonized definitions of diseases (clinical endpoints)
FACILITATE ACCESS
-
provide transnational access to samples and data, free of charge, for researchers through study proposals selected by an open pan- European call
-
improve biobanking and research technologies, and develop innovative solutions that promote fair access to high-quality samples and data
-
generate and offer access to whole genome sequences, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome and methylome data (within the framework of selected study proposals)
NETWORK
-
build a network transferring expertise of already established biobanks to new emerging biobanks
-
strengthen the existing public-private collaborations, and building new partnerships between industry and academia to share transparently the expertise in these fields
