    MNHN
    Fungal cultures collection. Our main research activities from 2006-2009 are in the field of Fungal Biodiversity and Evolution. Biodiversity studies have been developped 1) to better understand the cheese environment and particularly to discriminate biotechnological inoculums of the cheese industry (P. camemberti, P. roqueforti ...) from closely related contaminants, 2) to define phylogenetic species in the large genus Penicillium, 3) to evaluate culturable and non-culturable fungal communities on grapes, 4) to understand the epidemiology of the fungal contamination in the Lascaux cave and 5) to describe fungi from the extreme environments of the deep sea. Evolutionary studies have shown the maintenance of genes involved in sexual reproduction for Penicillium species considered as asexual until now.Human collections . Our samples have been used for several researches in the broad field of Human Evolutionary Genetics. 1) infering population history 2) detecting natural selection and past adaptation of populations 3) influence of social behaviour on the genetic diversity of our species.- infering past history of Pygmies and non-pygmies populations from Central Africa. Using state of the art methodology we have been able to infer the history of the Pygmies populations and their neighbour in Central Africa. - impact of social behaviour on the genetic diversity of Central Asia.- population history of Central Asian populations

  • 3xG

    3xG study (Gezondheid, Gemeenten, Geboorten)
    3xG (read: three times G) is a local birth cohort study to follow up the health of the citizens in the communities of Dessel, Mol and Retie in Belgium. The purpose is to monitor environmental and lifestyle exposure and health effects by following up 301 newborns till the age of 18 years old, with human biomonitoring and frequent questionnaires.

  • 4FirHealth

    Firefighting occupational exposure and early effects on the health of operational forces
    Nowadays, forest fires are an important public health issue due to the emission of a countless number of hazardous pollutants including particulate matter (PM), principally the finest fraction (PM<2.5 µm) that penetrate more deeply into the respiratory tract, several volatile organic compounds e.g. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and metals. PM, PAHs, and metals are pollutants of major concern due to their high environmental persistence, toxicity, and carcinogenicity, thus being responsible for the initiation of cardio-respiratory inflammatory processes. Fires emissions may affect short- and long-term health and quality of life of exposed populations, particularly of the occupationally exposed firefighting operational forces. The cohort characteizes the occupational exposure of firefighters from different corporations in the Porto metropolitan area by performing human (bio)monitoring assays (personal air, urine, saliva, and skin contamination) and (in vitro) health risk assessment to motivate the implementation of mitigation strategies and propote occupational safety and health.

  • ABC

    Anaesthetic Biobank of Cerebrospinal Fluid
    Collection of clinical data, plasma and cerebrospinal fluid acquired from patients undergoing elective surgery under spinal anesthesia.

  • ABCD

    Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study
    The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study is a longitudinal U.S. cohort study that has followed nearly 12,000 children recruited at ages 9–10 to examine brain development, cognition, mental health, and substance use trajectories into adulthood. It collects multimodal data including structural and functional MRI, neurocognitive assessments, mental and physical health measures, genetics, biospecimens, and detailed environmental and social information. Importantly, participant residential addresses are geocoded and used to link external contextual data such as neighborhood socioeconomic conditions, air pollution, crime, greenspace, and school characteristics. This linkage allows researchers to study how place-based and environmental exposures interact with biology and behavior to shape adolescent development. https://abcdstudy.org/

  • ABCD

    The Amsterdam Born Children and their Development Study
    The ABCD-study is a large longitudinal research study on the health of 8000 Amsterdam born children. We investigate which factors in early pregnancy and childhood influence the health of these children.

  • ACBB

    Augsburg Central BioBank
    The Augsburg Central BioBank is a centralized biobank at the University Hospital of Augsburg. It is divided into two parts, consisting of liquid and solid biosamples. For solid biosamples, we collect oncological biosamples with the main focus on lung, mammary and colorectal carcinomas with the respective metastases and rare tumors, which include pediatric cases. Moreover, the biobank offers services for sample collection with a specific research focus. The liquid part of the biobank includes non-solid samples (blood, urine etc.) and clinical data from oncological patients.

  • ACS

    Amsterdam Cohort Studies
    The Amsterdam Cohort Study (ACS) is a prospective observational cohort studie on HIV/ AIDS and other blood-borne infections (BBI), sexually transmittable infections (STI) and other infections.

  • ACU Biobank

    Acibadem University Biobank
    Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar University Biobank facility has established as a research biobank for rare disease and undiagnosed patients under ACU-RARE (Acibadem University Rare Disease and Orphan Drug Research and Application Center). The facility aims to identify and validate biomarkers or to find new genes related to rare and undiagnosed diseases, and thus to develop therapeutic approaches. ACU Biobank was participated in the European Union Horizon2020 project "implementAtion anD OPeration of the gateway for healTh-ADOPT BBMRI-ERIC". As a part of the Turkish BBMRI network, ACU Biobank has established the necessary infrastructures and applied required quality management in the collection, processing, storage and distribution of biomaterials. Until today, ACU Biobank has included samples from albinism, familial and syndromic leukemia and undiagnosed disease patients and currently COVID-19 related biological samples and their associated data.

  • AcuteLines

    AcuteLines
    Research in acute care faces many challenges, including enrollment challenges, legal limitations in data sharing, limited funding, and lack of singular ownership of the domain of acute care. To overcome some of these challenges, the Center of Acute Care of the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands, has established a de novo data-, image- and biobank named "Acutelines". Acutelines is initiated to improve recognition and treatment of acute diseases and obtain insight in the consequences of acute diseases, including factors predicting its outcome. Thereby, Acutelines contributes to development of personalized treatment and improves prediction of patient outcomes after an acute admission.
