Abstract :

BBMRI.se (Biobanking and Molecular Resource Infrastructure of Sweden) is a large-scale national infrastructure programme funded by the Swedish National Science Council (Vetenskaprådet). BBMRI.se is part of the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (BBMRI-ERIC). In Sweden, BBMRI.se links and works together with 6 different medical universities, and with the Karolinska Institute as Host University. The aim of BBMRI.se is to emphasise the scientific aspects of biobanking so as to guarantee top quality research and development. Its mission is to ensure the collection of high-quality samples, as well as to stimulate collaboration between researchers, biobanks and analytical platforms. Our final goal is to build a national infrastructure of biobank samples from healthy and sick individuals that can be used in research to solve the riddle of �??why do some individuals get sick when others do not?�?�.
