We offer you a gateway for staying up to date on everything going on at the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR), from the latest news to future solidarity activities and initiatives that we are organising.
Biobank Week is designed to explore best practices in biobanking for biomedical research, and is aimed at all those seeking a deeper and up-to-date understanding of biobanks, whether healthcare professionals, researchers, technicians, postgraduate students in health sciences or the general public.
Promoted by GIMM, through the GIMM CARE clinical and translational research initiative, the School of Medicine of the University of Lisbon and the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute, Biobank Week aims to foster discussion, harmonization and innovation in approaches to biobanking.
At the core of Biobank Week is an Advanced Course that delves into the inner workings of a biobank — from daily operations and quality management to ethics, governance, data protection and sample security. The programme includes a hands-on workshop component, ensuring that participants can translate theory into practice. The programme is further enriched by the participation of industry partners, providing insights into the latest materials, technologies and solutions for biobanking.
