BBRS essentials of biobanking modules

The Biobank Resource Centre (BRC) develops and delivers tools for researchers and biobankers who collect, store, or study human biospecimens with the goal of enhancing the quality and reproducibility of biospecimen research through education and promotion of best practice standards globally.

The 9 online modules of this course will provide ‘how-to’ knowledge for researchers and biobankers, and ‘what is’ knowledge for stakeholders (e.g. the public, ethics board members, and administrators).

This course was developed by Canadian biobanking professionals, and enhanced with country-specific content from the international biobanking community.
