Resources and Tools
Biobank Samples & Data Directory
Are you looking for samples and clinical data for your biomedical research? The BBMRI-ERIC Directory makes it easy, with a catalogue of samples and data from nearly 700 biobanks across Europe – and, since 2020, those with samples and data related to COVID-19 from around the world.
Once you’ve found your samples, send inquiries to multiple biobanks using our Negotiator tool. The Negotiator provides an easy overview of the status of your requests and allows tracking of follow-up steps and cost negotiation.
Clinical Research Metadata Repository
The online tool to help scientific researchers find documents and data linked to a clinical research study, and to obtain information on the accessibility of those results. The Clinical Research Metadata Repository is freely available for all scientific researchers, and is updated regularly through collection of data from the most important sources of information worldwide.
ELSI Knowledge Base
The ELSI Knowledge Base is the open-access resource platform containing information on ELSI-related matters relevant in biobanking and life sciences. Here you will find practical guidance on specific ELSI topics. So if you are in need of ethical legal, or societal guidance, please browse the library at the link below!
