Biobank Antwerp
We are a broad range biobank with regard to sample type and disease area.
Some collections are readily available. Most are collected in the framework of specific studies and require approval (sometimes collaboration) with the involved investigators.
The availability of data (clinical data, diagnostic data, genome, research data) varies per collection
A broad range of expertise and techniques is available via these researchers
