National Day - Germany's Way Towards Excellence in Biobanking
Under the motto ‘National Day - Germany’s Way Towards Excellence in
Biobanking’, the associate partner of
ISBER, TMF, will host a pre-symposium. The
event will take place on April 5 2016 and will be devoted to the promotion of
human biobanks as a valuable tool for scientific medical and epidemiological
research in Germany.
TMF will present aspects of its decade-long work as an academic-driven
non-profit organization, particularly how TMF established a nation-wide
platform for biobanking through its dedicated working group. The TMF working group has successfully
facilitated interdisciplinary exchange across scientific projects and across
scientific institutions with the goal to meet many organizational, legal,
ethical and technological challenges of modern biomaterial-based medical
research.
German biobanking is supported at different levels by the Ministry of
Education and Research (BMBF) which will be presented during the pre-symposium,
e. g.
- the so called ‘Centralized Biobanks’ that are currently
being established at selected sites of scientific medical and epidemiological
research across the country,
- the recently established German Centers for
Health Research and their biobanking activities,
- the German National Cohort (GNC), a joint interdisciplinary endeavor of 25 German research institutions
aimed at a better understanding of common diseases through longitudinal studies
of the German population, planned to run over the next 20-30 years,
- the German Biobank Node (GBN), the German central
contact and coordination point for biobanking and the German contribution to
the Pan-European biobanking Infrastructure enterprise, BBMRI-ERIC,
- the German Biobank Alliance, a brand-new
comprehensive BMBF funding initiative for setting up a German Biobank Network as
a basis for enabling German biobanks for cross-border collaboration within the
context of BBMRI-ERIC.
On April 5, 2016, ‘biobankers’ from all over the world are invited to
meet leading biobank experts from Germany, many of whom shall surely
participate in this one-time event, the National Biobanking Day of the ISBER
Annual 2016 Meeting. The pre-symposium will provide a great opportunity to
build new networks and to get to know the German biobanking roadmap. The
meeting will hopefully contribute to a fruitful international exchange of
know-how and stimulate much scientifically rewarding collaboration.
