ISBER is the only global forum that addresses scientific, technical, legal and ethical issues for biobanks and biodeposits.

Collection of biological samples from patients diagnosed with renal glomerular disease by renal biopsy.

Its aim is to facilitate translational research in the field of Respiratory and Related Diseases, to improve its diagnosis and treatment, providing quality samples and clinical data to national and international researchers.

Its mission is to provide the highest level of quality and cutting-edge services to facilitate and advance the definition of the best therapy for the patient and close the cycle from basic research to the completion of the clinical application.

In 2002, the Oncology Plan of Catalonia promoted the creation of a network of tumor banks in Catalonia that would serve to provide sufficient samples for cancer research and to obtain useful results in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. One of the most important resources for the development of these studies are tumor tissues and other samples (serum, cell cultures) from patients affected by this disease as well as healthy control tissues. From these types of samples it is possible to obtain DNA, RNA, proteins and other products useful for research.

Vision & Mission: All Medical Practice Based on Scientific Evidence ECRIN's vision is to generate scientific evidence to optimise medical practice. To achieve this vision, ECRIN supports the conduct of multinational clinical research in Europe (i.e. its vision). By managing and supporting clinical trials across borders, connecting networks, and advising and implementing policy, ECRIN advances knowledge flow, competitiveness and integration in European clinical research.

European infrastructure for translational medicine. We pool resources and services for research communities to translate scientific discoveries into benefits for patients.

BiblioPRO's vision is to become the Virtual Library of International Scientific Reference for Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO). Mission: To promote the measurement of patient perceived outcomes (PROs) in research, clinical practice, and health management, through the generation of detailed information, the result of systematic literature reviews; the production of scientific evaluations and the realization of specialized training.

Mission: combating respiratory diseases by encouraging research excellence and translating it quickly and safely into clinical practice.

Provide world-class basic bioinformatics resources to the national and international life sciences research community in key fields such as functional genomics, RNA-Seq transcriptomics, genotyping, genomic medicine, and molecular dynamics simulations. Provide a platform for integrated basic bioinformatics services to the research community. Facilitate the coordinated participation of bioinformatics groups in large-scale national and international projects that require and benefit from closely collaborating teams that are known and accustomed to working together.

BioCores is a directory of basic facilities, technology platforms and scientific services currently in Spain. BioCores offers a tool to find a wide range of cutting-edge, state-of-the-art scientific services, techniques and equipment, to support both biomedical and life sciences research and the scientific community.

Bioinformatics Barcelona (BIB) is an association for the provision of education and training, the promotion of advanced research, the transfer of knowledge and technology, the stimulation of competitiveness and innovation in the industrial sector, and the provision of 'greater visibility as an international entity. BIB was born to cover the need to generate synergies between biology and computer science, for a stronger union between these areas and for the development of high quality education and training programs in the creation of bioinformatics talent.
