Biobank

The Neuro-Biobank Tübingen takes samples from donors with an existing comprehensive demographic and clinical dataset. Clinical diagnosis is made by experienced specialists in the field. Sample processing is fast and follows standardized operating procedures. Sample and data quality, as well as processing quality are regularly checked. Thus we feel that we can offer biomaterial species of highest international standards. The aim of our biobank is to offer principle investigators the opportunity to request samples for specific projects. Proposals will be reviewed by a steering committee, to decide on priorities.
