Organoids are defined as three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems that can be called “mini-organs” as they mimic some of the key multicellular, anatomical and even functional characteristics of real organs. Organoids are praised as a substitute for animal models in preclinical studies. At the same time, organoid technology raises issues around informed consent or privacy […]
This webinar is dedicated to explaining the cost recovery model that biobanks/biobankers can use to calculate the costs associated with sample and data provision in order to stay sustainable. This model is currently being implemented in two EU projects; namely ISIDORE and CanSERV. Within public biobanks, there is no universally acknowledged model for charge/fee calculation for sample and/or […]
Genomics is a rapidly evolving field constantly breaking down the boundaries of cost and time efficiency of analysis. Lately, translational and clinical researchers are also looking beyond the genome – at transcriptional, epigenetic and proteomic signatures to reveal new insights into disease aetiology. By taking advantage of new technological developments in this field, biobanks can […]
