Reinforcing biomedical research
The Radboud Biobank aims to support researchers in achieving groundbreaking translational research by promoting the standardized collection, storage, and management of biomaterials together with detailed clinical data. read moreReinforcing biomedical research
Established in 2012, the Radboud Biobank supports researchers throughout the entire organizational process of building a biobank, from gaining permission from the medical-ethical review board (CMO) to creating an efficient database. The Radboud Biobank further coordinates activities between researchers, ICT, laboratories, and clinicians to expedite interdepartmental communication. High-quality biomaterials and data are promoted, and the Radboud Biobank exploits in-house expertise from the diverse Radboudumc laboratories to ensure best practices in data collection. The Radboud Biobank envisions that the scientific data mobilized by this infrastructure will lead to improved health in patients and reinforce biomedical research in Nijmegen.5 years of sustainable biobanking
Facilities Biobank
We offer professionally maintained long-term storage for collections with standardization in the areas of ICT, legal-ethical aspects, biobanking, communication and distribution. This is an efficient, high-quality service for scientific research and medical innovation.
Financial administration
The Radboud Biobank is a non-profit institution and administrative fees help cover operating costs.

The Radboud Biobank has introduced a new business model. All initial costs related to patient sampling and the collection of biomaterials are covered by individual departments. The Radboud Biobank covers half the costs of sample preparation and the other half of the preparation costs and the storage costs are covered by the department. Researchers pay the Radboud Biobank a graduated rate for issuance of biomaterial with associated data according to the Radboudumc financial policy. There is a transition phase for existing collections. Read the information on intranet.
Health-RI Theme Biobanks & Collections
Achieving the overarching Health-RI mission of building a national health data infrastructure for research and innovation requires the findability, accessibility, and comparability of data from a wide range of registries, databanks, and biobanks.
The Health-RI theme Biobanks & Collections therefore facilitates that health data, biomaterials, and images are collected, managed, and made available in a harmonised manner.
