Europe Biobank Week 2019 - Press Release

To find the right treatment for a patient, precision medicine uses data from genetic and molecular research. Biobanks collect, process and store human samples such as from blood or tissue, along with their associated data. Researchers and doctors then use these samples and data for research on targeted treatments. Thus biobanks are an integral part of the treatment process.

Europe Biobank Week 2019 is taking place in Lübeck, Germany, from the 8th to the 11th October 2019 with the theme: “Biobanking for a Healthier World”.

Europe Biobank Week 2019 is the largest European conference on biobanking, with over 600 attendees gathering to discuss the latest challenges and opportunities of biobanking. EBW is co-organised by BBMRI-ERIC and ESBB.

This event offers 4 impactful days of influential keynote presentations, dynamic discussions on precision medicine and biobanking promoting a healthier world, networking events, and a robust showcase of more than 50 interactive exhibits, technological advancements, and product innovations.
