Biological Resource Center presentation
The Gustave Roussy Biobank’s mission is to contribute to cancer research by providing research teams with high-quality biological resources.
It has been created in 2001 to centralize the management of biological resources from healthcare and for research purposes, thereby ensuring optimal technical support and traceability of samples and their associated data.
In 2011, the “fluid” module from clinical trials has been integrated into the CRB, expanding the department's scope of activity.
The biobank receives, prepares, preserves, and makes available a variety of tissue, blood, and cell samples, selected for their clinical relevance and potential for clinical research. It is committed to providing high-quality samples and associated data while ensuring compliance with ethical and regulatory standards. The Gustave Roussy Biobank is implementing a process-based approach to improve its quality management system (QMS). It has been certified to ISO 20387 and ISO 9001 standards since 2024.
The Biobank is a member of the French network of biobanks, Club 3-CR, since 2011.
