Biological samples
The Danish National Biobank stores millions of biological samples that can be used for research projects
Many samples are from specific research projects or national screenings. This means that data about the donors and screening results are often available. Further via the Danish Biobank Register, information such as donor age, gender, diagnosis, operation procedures etc. can be linked to the samples.
