The Federation of Irish Biobanks
For over 20 years, Biobank Ireland has been at the forefront of establishing, developing, and supporting a network of biobanks across the country. Our mission is to create a unified, federated system that links biobanks throughout the island of Ireland, fostering collaboration and advancing cancer research.
Our federation is designed to address the evolving needs of Irish biobanking and its members. We are dedicated to promoting best practices, providing support for essential equipment and staffing, and driving the development of world-class biobanking standards. Together, we aim to accelerate research, innovation, and development in the fight against cancer.
