Abstract
The ibdw was established in 2011 as one of 5 centralised national biobanks in Germany within the framework of the governmental funding program “Nationale Biobank-Initiative”. The ibdw is a joint core facility of both, the University Hospital and the Julius-Maximilians-University Wurzburg and acts as a faculty-wide service provider of human biological material for medical research. From the outset main emphasis was placed on comprehensive automation and seamless integration of sample collection in clinical routine workflows thereby securing highest quality standards. The ibdw collects fluid and tissue samples in parallel from patients, based on a broad informed consent, hence not limiting future research use.
Highlights
(1) Bioresource Overview Project description The Julius-Maximilians-University of Würzburg was founded in 1402; many eminent scholars and scientists have since researched and taught in Würzburg
Future advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases require the combined analysis of human biological material and related clinical and research data including “omics”-data
The ibdw is composed of a central database and two central sample repositories, one for body fluids and one for tissue samples, respectively, and a limited number of specialized decentralized ibdw-subunits (e.g., Departments. of Dermatology, Psychiatry, and Orthopaedics) fully adhering to ibdw standards and rules
Summary
(1) Bioresource Overview Project description The Julius-Maximilians-University of Würzburg was founded in 1402; many eminent scholars and scientists have since researched and taught in Würzburg This is where the centralised Interdisciplinary Bank of Biomaterials and Data Würzburg (ibdw) comes in as a faculty-wide operating central service provider of human biological material for medical research. The unique strategic concept of the ibdw comprises a systematic, simultaneous, and sequential collection of body fluids and tissue from patients and study participants of all 22 departments in the University Hospital [3].
