The film of the German Biobank Alliance (GBA): "Biobanks - essential for biomedical research" is here!

It explains important questions about biobanking:

• Why is it important for researchers to work with professional biobanks?
• How do scientists gain access to the biosamples stored there and the associated data?

A four-minute film produced by the German Biobank Node (GBN) provides information on this.

The GBN film is available in German with English subtitles.

The German Biobank Node (GBN) published the film on the occasion of the launch of the "Sample Locator" - an online search tool that enables cross-biobank searches for samples and data.
