The IDIBGI Biobank is the research support platform responsible for the management of human biological samples and associated data for research. This management includes the collection, processing, storage and transfer of samples to promote quality biomedical research. Our goal is to contribute to the development of biomedical research of excellence, making biological samples available to the scientific community under certain legal, technical, organizational guarantees and respecting the rights of donors.

XBTC – Network of Tumor Banks of Catalonia
In 2002, the Oncology Plan of Catalonia promoted the creation of a network of tumor banks in Catalonia that would serve to provide sufficient samples for cancer research and to obtain useful results in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. One of the most important resources for the development of these studies are tumor tissues and other samples (serum, cell cultures) from patients affected by this disease as well as healthy control tissues. From these types of samples it is possible to obtain DNA, RNA, proteins and other products useful for research.
