BBMRI.QM Newsroom
What is actually happening in biobanks in 2023, how is quality practiced at biobank level? Which projects and funding help biobanks to develop further, improve quality measures and be a recognised partner for biomedical research, and what do our invited guests have to say about it?
Quo vadis quality?
We will shed light on all these and many other questions in our BBMRI.QM Newsrooms.
“Looking at quality from many angles” – a motto we want to follow in 2023.
