 Who European cancer researchers or clinical based biobankers from OECI member institutes or cancer researchers that cooperate with cancer researchers working at an OECI member institute are allowed to participate. Furthermore, you must have published in cancer research or biobanking. Why Since high throughput molecular techniques have entered the field of cancer research, the demand for collections of well-documented and high quality tumor tissue specimen has increased enormously. Even very large institute based systematic tissue banks require a long period of time to accrue sufficient numbers of specific or rare tumors. Linking tumor tissue banks in a network can significantly shorten the time needed to obtain a large collection of well-documented and high quality tumor tissue specimens of defined subtypes. Sharing of samples is needed to be able to have enough samples to obtain statistical significant results and validate the findings. Sharing offers the opportunity to work together on the latest views and with cutting edge techniques in cancer research. Keep custodianship over the samples OECI-TuBaFrost is a virtual tumor tissue bank. The collected tissue samples remain stored at the collecting institute and under custodianship of the collecting institute. This means that the samples are not allocated to an organization that will decide to what requests and under what terms you should contribute your samples. These decisions remain the responsibility of the participating institute. As a consequence you can:
Access to the OECI-TuBaFrost database can however only be given after proper registration and will be limited to European cancer researchers or biobanker from OECI member institutes or cancer researchers that cooperate with cancer researchers working at an OECI member institute. For proper registration you need an institute related e-mail address. E-mail addresses from general mail providers like yahoo, gmail, hotmail etc. Registering with such an e-mail address will not be accepted. Moreover, if the mail extension does not refer to the institute you have given during registration you will not be accepted. Furthermore, you must be involved in cancer research or a bio-banker of a clinical based biobank based in comprehensive cancer centers or hospitals with a competence in comprehensive cancer care across Europe that is a OECI member or is in cooperation with a member of the OECI. Last but not least, in case you have samples to share, you also need to comply to the OECI-TuBaFrost standardization of frozen tissue, which is a nowadays commonly accepted standard. In case you can comply to all mentioned above, you are welcome to apply to become an active member of the OECI-TuBaFrost community. You can join as a participant in the open access part, but you can also apply to become a project coordinator, so you can make use of the project support part. This you can choose at the registration or your profile section later. |
