Since its foundation in 2009, we have connected more than 250 Dutch biobanks and cohorts, allowing them to make their data, images and body materials accessible and exchangeable. We were the first large Dutch health research infrastructure that worked and showed that people from different backgrounds can collaborate and trust each other. The LifeLines cohort Study and Biobank was one of the core partners right from the start.
The BBMRI-NL community has created a very rich data-warehouse, research tools, services for ELSI (Ethical, Legal, Societal Issues), and knowledge tools that are used and shared for biomedical research.
The UMCG is an important partner for us. It has a position in the BBMRI-NL directorate and UMCG researchers have significantly contributed to many successful projects:
We have a great number of partners, including all Dutch University Medical Centres. In the coming years BBMRI-NL will continue its important work, together with our many collaborators, under the umbrella of Health-RI, the nationwide infrastructure for personalised medicine and health research.
