SBP is the premier national research infrastructure for biobanking activities.
We offer guidance to biobanks to operate according to best practices and support researchers in utilizing samples and data.
Our new film!
Swiss Biobanking Platform (SBP), the German Biobank Node (GBN) and BBMRI.at have jointly launched a new film highlighting the crucial role of professional biobanks in advancing scientific research and fostering groundbreaking discoveries.
This film serves not only as an educational tool, but also as a celebration of the collaborative spirit between the BBMRI-ERIC nodes and the innovation that drives the scientific community.
SBP strongly encourages all biobanks in the network to promote and share this film through their own communication channels. If you are interested in embedding the film on your biobank’s website, please contact info@swissbiobanking.ch.
