The Biobank provides the scientific community with a wide catalog of biological samples and associated data from patients with different diseases, as well as from controls.

The applicant must send the sample and data request form to the Biobank (biobanc@idibgi.org), along with the favorable opinion of the local ethics committee. In cases where the ethics committee is CEIm Girona, the approval of the project and the request for samples and data may be processed simultaneously.

The request will be evaluated by the Biobank’s external committees: the ethical and the scientific committee. These committees will ensure the ethical, legal, and rational use of the samples and data. In some cases, the request must also be assessed by the internal scientific committee of the collection, and a scientific collaboration with the team promoting the collection of samples and data may be required.

The Biobank staff will be responsible for managing requests with the committees, keeping the applicant informed, and sending the requested samples and data once the committees have approved the transfer.

The transfer of samples and data will comply with all security, protection, and confidentiality guarantees established by the applicable regulations.
