TMF will present aspects of its decade-long work as an academic-driven non-profit organization, particularly how it established a nation-wide platform for biobanking through its dedicated working group. This working group has successfully facilitated interdisciplinary exchange across scientific projects and scientific institutions with the goal to meet many organizational, legal, ethical and technological challenges of modern biomaterial-based medical research.
German biobanking is supported at different levels by the Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) which will be presented, e. g.
- the so called ‘Centralized Biobanks’ that are currently being established at selected sites of scientific medical and epidemiological research across the country,
- the recently established German Centers for Health Research and their biobanking activities,
- the German National Cohort (GNC), a joint interdisciplinary endeavor of 25 German research institutions aimed at a better understanding of common diseases through longitudinal studies of the German population, planned to run over the next 20-30 years,
- the German Biobank Node (GBN), the German central contact and coordination point for biobanking and the German contribution to the Pan-European biobanking Infrastructure enterprise, BBMRI-ERIC,
- the German Biobank Alliance, a brand-new comprehensive BMBF funding initiative for setting up a German Biobank Network as a basis for enabling German biobanks for cross-border collaboration within the context of BBMRI-ERIC.
‘Biobankers’ from all over the world are invited to meet leading biobank experts from Germany, many of whom will participate in this National Biobanking Day of the ISBER Annual 2016 Meeting. The pre-symposium will provide a great opportunity to build new
networks and to get to know the German biobanking roadmap. The meeting will contribute to a fruitful international exchange of knowhow and stimulate much scientifi cally rewarding collaboration.

ISBER National Day 2016 - Programme You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
