Contact persons and coordinators at the Biobank Research Unit
We recommend that researchers contact us early in the planning of a study. We can assist with advice on, among other things, study design and the application for ethical approval.
We provide advice and practical assistance with:
epidemiological questions (eg methodological changes and the structure of the population)
statistical issues
study design (for example, repeated sampling)
legal questions and accompanying paperwork (eg applications and certain legal agreements)
applications for ethical approval
appropriate partners/consortia and other contacts
registry linking, matching of controls and pseudonymisation
