Clinical and Translational Research Sector Clinical Biobank Group

Group Introduction

Leader:
Professor Muneaki Shimada (INGEM)

As a clinical biobank, this group has established a comprehensive system for collecting, storing, and managing biological samples from patients at Tohoku University Hospital, making them available for research within the university. This group is committed to continuously expanding the biobank by increasing the number of collected and stored samples, the variety of sample types, as well as the number of collaborating clinical departments. At the same time, by actively promoting the use of these resources in both intramural and extramural research, the biobank plays a crucial role in advancing basic and clinical research, ultimately contributing to the realization of Next-Generation medicine in Japan.
