Kursens syfte This course aims to provide practical knowledge to start biobanking with state of the art quality comprising ethics, legal aspects, sampling handling and logistics. Furthermore the course aims to enable the course participants to get insight in and knowledge about how to collect human tissue samples and associated data, about how to apply technology advancements such as next generation sequencing, proteomics and metabolomics to harness biological information from biobanked material such as tissues and liquid biopsies and finally to get insight into successful research projects where biobanking in combination with large scale analysis is having direct impact on health care. .
Kursens lärandemål At the end of the course the student should:
- Understand the value of biobanks and be able to explain how to use these rich sources of samples and related data.
- Understand the legal and ethical framework related to biobanks and how to utilize biobanked samples in future national and international projects,
- Have insight and knowledge about how to start a new study and understand the impact of quality and standardization on downstream applications,
- Understand and explain the need for a secure IT structure in order to ensure the sample donors integrity with a full traceability of samples and data,
- Discuss own or other's research projects related to biobanked samples.
