Abstract
The Biorepository in Department of Molecular Biophysics of the University of Lodz was established in 2010 as an internal bioresource to collect and store Polish population-based biospecimens. In 2014 biorepository started to act as Biobank Lab of University of Lodz (BLUL/Biobank Lodz). The Biobank Lodz joined the BBMRI_PL (consortium of Polish biobanks) in 2014 and in 2016 BLUL became a member of the BCNet (Biobank and Cohort Building Network) and ESBB (European and Middle Eastern Society for Biopreservation and Biobanking). The BLUL stores over 12.200 samples and their data, including section of formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) and fluid samples (serum, full blood, saliva). Biobank Lodz is expanding the collections to include some important human diseases as well and is open for the international scientific community for the purpose research projects.

(1) Bioresource Overview Project description The BLUL was initially created using the human-based biomaterials and related clinical/questionnaire data collected from the “Role of multidrug transporters in pharmacokinetics and toxicology – in vitro tests in pharmaceutical and clinical practice” project (Supported by the Polish POIG grant 01.01.02-10-005/08 TESTOPLEK from the European Regional Development Fund)
Context Spatial coverage Description: Main collection of the BLUL is POPULOUS, which is based on general Polish population Northern boundary: 54o50’ N Southern boundary: 49o00’ N Eastern boundary: 24o09’ E Western boundary: 14o07’ E

The main goal of the BLUL is to promote research via sharing biospecimens and related clinical/questionnaire data with interested scientific institutions. All bioinformatics analyzes are carried out with the use of widely available commercial software
