Description

The IGB Biological Resources Center (CRB-IGB) was created with the aim of coordinating the IGB’s biobanking activities developed as part of research projects involving collections of biological samples. The CRB-IGB is a core facility that constitutes an important resource in the field of biomedical research, from the basic to the translational one, from the understanding of the ethio-pathogenetic mechanisms, prognostic/predictive factors, and diagnostic parameters, up to the susceptibility to therapy. The CRB-IGB guarantees interoperability criteria among the individual biobanks by making homogeneous and functional the procedures for collection, processing and storage of human biological materials, and by standardizing both the methods of collecting/storing molecular, physiological and structural information and the related bioinformatics. The CRB-IGB aims to carry out research activities directly using biological samples and to provide the scientific community with high quality samples for biomedical research purposes. The CRB-IGB is currently composed of six research biobanks: -Five “disease oriented” Biobanks, four biobanks made up of biological samples from individuals and families with rare genetic diseases and one biobank made up of biological samples from individuals with common diseases; -One Population biobank, consisting of biological samples from individuals belonging to populations of particular interest.
