Welcome to iBioTUM - the Central Interdisciplinary Biobank of the Faculty of Medicine! As an integral part of the Faculty of Medicine, iBioTUM strives to bridge the gap between patient care, research and science by providing access to high-quality, well-annotated biospecimens.

In a world where personalized medicine and tailored treatments are becoming the norm, the importance of well-curated biobanks cannot be overstated. Our biobank unit encompasses an extensive and diverse collection of biological samples, including blood, tissue, DNA, RNA, and other biospecimens from patients and healthy donors alike. This collection is a treasure trove of information that enables multifaceted medical research.

The mission of iBioTUM is to foster groundbreaking research in diverse fields such as genetics, oncology, neurology, cardiovascular medicine and immunology. By providing a valuable resource for basic and translational research, iBioTUM aims to expand our understanding of disease pathogenesis, improve diagnostic methods, and develop new therapeutic strategies.

Our biobank not only stores samples, but also ensures high quality, working closely with our ethics committee to ensure that ethical considerations are taken into account and that patients and subjects give appropriate consent for each sample. Each sample is accompanied by detailed clinical and demographic data, which adds to its value for research. We adhere to strict protocols and state-of-the-art procedures for sample collection, storage and distribution to ensure the integrity and reproducibility of research results.

In addition, iBioTUM promotes collaboration and interdisciplinary research and acts as a hub that brings together research, clinical and teaching communities. We are committed to working in partnership with the global scientific community and contributing to the common goal of improving human health and well-being. The School of Medicine Biobank is not just a repository, but a dynamic, evolving entity that reflects the progress and potential of modern medical science.
