Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute

The IGTP-HUGTP Biobank (B.0000643) is structured in the following units:
• Fluid node. It works with a wide variety of samples (blood derivatives and other biological fluids) corresponding to different types of diseases or population groups.
• Tumour Bank. One of the most important resources in the study of cancer are tumour tissues, as well as control (non-tumour) tissues. Precisely, its objective is to obtain and store these samples to offer them to researchers and advance in improving the diagnosis, prognosis, prevention and/or treatment of cancer.
• Hematological neoplasms node. In collaboration with the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute, it manages and offers various types of samples associated with leukaemias and other haematological diseases in order to advance the study of haematological cancer.
