PLATFORM ISCIII

BIOMODELS AND BIOBANKS

The ISCIII Biobanks and Biomodels Platform is an initiative of the Carlos III Health Institute.

The Coordination team has organised the Platform’s structure into four scientific-technological HUBS, which include: Biobanks, Organoids, Animal Models and 3D Printing. This structure makes it possible to manage and supply biological samples and associated clinical data. In the interest of promoting and incrementing scientific-technological resources in biomedical research, the PISCIIIBB’s services include organoids, animal models and 3D printing.

The ISCIII Biobanks and Biomodels Platform has joined the European Biobanking Infrastructure (BBMRI-ERIC) as an observing member, acting as the national node in BBMRI-ERIC, one of the most relevant research platforms in the European Union.

Biobancos: Almacenes de tejidos humanos al servicio de la ciencia

Biobancos: Almacenes de tejidos humanos al servicio de la ciencia

Casi un centenar de centros guarda muestras de sangre, saliva, cerebros, mucosas, lágrimas… útiles para proyectos de investigación contra enfermedades graves. España fue el primer país que creó una red de biobancos con un modelo que, en la actualidad, se está copiando en Europa, América Latina y Oriente Medio.

Son los llamados «bancos buenos», porque no cobran comisiones y dan la mayor rentabilidad: investigar contra graves enfermedades. Y lo hacen almacenando muestras biológicas humanas que ponen a disposición de la ciencia.
