EuroBioBank European research organization
EuroBioBank is an organization which manages a network of biobanks in Europe . It provides human DNA , cell, and tissue samples to the scientific community for research on rare diseases .
Founding
Before the founding of EuroBioBank, researchers typically stored biobank specimens in their own laboratories and used them only for their own work. EuroBioBank allows researchers in many places to all share specimens.
