The Central Biobank Platform Sciensano provides support to the Sciensano Biobank modules (and their professional, medical managers). These Sciensano biobanks, defined with different aims and activities, are available to Sciensano internal as well as external scientists for registering human body material sample collections to be used in research studies. After registration, samples can be stored in a biobank, typically with donor informed consent, and made available for (re-)use in scientific research, approved by an ethics committee.
