Pulmonary Biobank Consortium

The Pulmonary Biobank Consortium is a transversal, public and non-profit- structure driven by CIBER Respiratory Diseases , with the volunteer participation of hospitals which are able to provide samples and relevant clinical information from patients attending for medical reasons (ref. B.0000471 Spanish Biobank Register - ISCIII). Biobank activity began in 2008 and it is certificated by ISO 9001:2008 regulation since 2012.

Pulmonary Biobank Consortium works in coordination with hospital biobanks and research institutions to:

Attend researchers needs.
Consolidate quality samples in pre-analytical processes to minimize artefacts and variations between lots of samples.
Cooperate and take part in similar cooperative structures.

Biobank aim is to provide quality samples and data to national and international researchers.
