Thank you to the excellent Kickys on South Great Georges Street, who ran a campaign supporting the work of Biobank Ireland which raised over a thousand euros during the busy month of December, our two founders Ciaran Flanagan and Professor Eoin Gaffney met Richie Barrett and Eric Mathews yesterday to receive this wonderful donation. This campaign also helped to support greater awareness of the importance of biobanking to critical medical research. Kickys will be supporting Biobank Ireland at other stages throughout this year and we would like to thank them for this ongoing and important support.
Introducing the Biobanking in Ireland Review and Directory, a comprehensive resource compiling detailed information on Ireland’s key biobanks, their leadership teams, research focus areas, and capabilities to support collaboration and advance scientific discovery. We will circulate this Directory in the coming months. If you are a biobank and wish to participate, please reach out to us for inclusion.
