Coming up next:
The new Swedish Biobank Act – an early prognosis of how it may affect medical research
Sonja Eaker Fält, Biobank Sweden and Linda Paavilainen, Uppsala biobank
The new Swedish Biobank Act, effective from July 1, 2023, is expected to cause some changes in research practice. For example, the new Act will also apply to samples taken outside healthcare and transfers between biobanks will be less restricted. Sonja Eaker Fält and Linda Paavilainen will give a brief overview of what is yet known about the implications for medical research, especially in biobank cohorts.
As always, this webinar will be followed by an open question session so bring your queries with you!
You are welcome to submit questions in advance to ulrika.morris@umu.se before June 2nd.
Date: June 9, 2023
