ABOUT

Centre of excellence Biobanking

Biobanking, the process of collecting, storing, and managing biological samples (biospecimens), is a crucial component of biomedical research. In India, biobanking plays a pivotal role in advancing scientific understanding, improving disease diagnostics, and fostering personalized medicine. The efficient use of biospecimens underpins the success of various research initiatives and medical breakthroughs. Biobanks are indispensable to the field of medical research, providing essential resources that drive innovation and the development of new therapies. By offering a vast repository of high-quality biospecimens, biobanks enable researchers to explore the full potential of their research, ultimately improving patient outcomes and advancing healthcare.
