Future of Biobanking

In this year’s last episode we take a look in the mirror. Having so far focused on the great work of our collaborators, we now turn the attention on biobanking itself. Inspired by our recent co-hosted PhD course and symposium: “The Future of Biobanking”, and with the help of biobanking expert Eva Ortega-Paino, we explore the past, present and future of biobanking.

The Danish National Biobank is a treasury of science for international health research. It contains 10 million biosamples across an array of diagnostic categories, as well as the Danish Biobank Register that links over 25 million biosamples in Danish biobanks to vast amounts of register information. This podcast will give an insight into some of the amazing research done through the Danish National Biobank, and hopefully inspire researchers to utilize this potential in the future.
