Human biomaterial banks (short: biobanks) are collections of human body substances (i.e. blood, DNA, urine or tissue) connected with disease specific information.

The biobank material arises from samples taken for therapeutical or diagnostic reasons or is extracted in the context of clinical trials. An approval for usage by the patient is always needed prior to any research activities.

The MDR harvests metadata on data objects from a variety of sources within clinical research (e.g. trial registries, data repositories) and brings that together in a single searchable portal.
