Events
SBP organizes an annual event; a national workshop and an international symposium on specific biobanking topics alternately.
SBP Workshop 2021
Connecting researchers and biobanks: The BioLink experience.
What’s NExT ?
SBP and SNSF have invited the research community to a virtual Workshop on Connecting researchers and biobanks: the BioLink experience. What’s “NExT” ? This event took place on April 20th 2021.
It aimed at sharing the experience of the SNSF BioLink projects for the interoperability of biobanks as well as showcasing the SBP NExT as a new tool to help the biobanks and the research community to share biological material. At the Workshop, participants discussed the future needs in this field the BioLink instrument will have to cover and learn how to get connected and increase the value of your biological samples through data interoperability and sharing.

Biobanking 2018
SBP presented its first conference on February 1st 2018 at the SwissTech Convention Center in Lausanne on the EPFL campus.
This event featured international and national experts sharing their vision of the “Biobanking of the future”. Three panels of experts discussed new directions in state-of-theart biobanking research. To meet current requirements, the scientific community biobanks need to tackle challenges including harmonized procedures, promotion of high quality standards or sustainability, all of them in the framework of their ethical, legal and social dimensions. The conference thus provided a forum for discussion around topics on next biobanking generation including focus on optimal usage of biological resources as well as present successful human and non-human biobanking research examples.
