| | | | MAGAZINE CELEBRATING 10 YEARS BBMRI | In the past 10 years, BBMRI.nl has made great progress in fulfilling its mission to maximize the use of biosamples, images and data for health research. We are proud to share some of the highlights with you in our celebratory BBMRI-magazine.
This digital magazine provides convenient links to results, documents, and products of BBMRI.nl and interviews with the people that have built and made use of these tools and services. We are also looking ahead to the future of biobanking and the new biobank community under the umbrella of Health-RI. This community and many current activities of BBMRI.nl are important factors in the nationwide infrastructure for personalized medicine and health research.

BBMRI.nl SPECIALS ON HEALTH-RI 2021 | Make sure to check out our selection of direct links to topics of special interest to the BBMRI community - pitch by Biobank community manager Peggy Manders,
- Jörg Hamann further outlining the contours of the Biobank Community,
- BBMRI workshop by Eric Vermeulen about the activities of the Patient and Public Advisory Council
- David Neal from Share2Care, a nonprofit organization that organizes public engagement by using design thinking techniques to realize health innovation based on people’s needs.
And last but not least, the key-note lecture by Aarno Palotie on FinnGen, a large public-private partnership aiming to collect and analyse genome and health data from 500,000 Finnish biobank participants. As Dr. Jörg Hamann mentioned: "Professor Palotie’s lecture was very interesting, even watching it for a second time on replay. Palotie made a convincing case for combining nationwide health registers with centrally orchestrated biobanks. Harmonizing clinical biobanks at the level consent and pre-analysis is necessary and should be possible in the Netherlands as well." |

| USING PUBLIC CLOUD SERVICES RESPONSIBLY FOR DATA-DRIVEN HEALTH RESEARCH | The ELSI Servicedesk published a white paper on Ethical and societal perspectives on health research in public clouds: 'Weathering the cloud'. Health research will require ever more computing capacity to process large datasets to help make sense of health, disease and treatment options. Public clouds offered by Microsoft, Google and Amazon can help meet these needs. But he highly sensitive data involved poses dilemmas and concerns over control, security and trust. Read more. |
