Abstract

The biobank of the Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Marseille (AP-HM) works as a multi-site biobank around one Quality Management System. The biobank works on the collection, preparation, storage and release of biological resources and their associated data. It receives tissue samples for neoplasms, DNA and cells for rare genetic diseases and blood samples for hematological and cardiovascular diseases. These samples are provided and classified by experts of different domains; the samples are under strict technical protocols with appropriate clinical data. This wide range of sample types, diseases and services allows collaborations with public or private laboratories to customize research projects or therapeutic trials.

 


Funding statement: The AP-HM biobank is supported by the French government’s MIG grant, intended to cover part of its annual cost based on its annual activity, valorization of released samples and funds from the AP-HM.
