Welcome to the
Swedish National Biobank Program!
The National Biobank Program is a joint national program of two Swedish investments on functional
genomics,
Swegene and
Wallenberg Consortium North. The main
objectives of the National Biobank Program are:
- to increase the knowledge of the Swedish biobanking system
- to increase the quality of Swedish biobanks
- to increase usability and availability of samples stored in Swedish
biobanks for use in research,
diagnosis and treatment
- to increase the safety of the providers of samples by stimulating increased protection of the
personal integrity and increased ethical awareness
The National Biobank Program works through financing of strategic investments to improve biobanking systems of national interest.
The program has a budget of SEK 26.4 million for the period of 2002 to 2003.
This web-site is intended as an information resource on biobanks in Sweden,
where knowledge about the Swedish biobanking system is mediated and the progress of the National Biobanking Program is presented.
You will also find a list of individual Swedish biobanks.
