Indivumed

Indivumed, based in Hamburg, is a German biobank with standardised, rapidly processed tumour samples and a multi-omics database called IndivuType. Its collection is ischaemia-time-controlled across a global clinical network, and its multi-omic cancer database is used for target discovery. OnCo links it to biobanking and tissue procurement. Whether tightly controlled sample handling reveals biology that conventional biobanks miss, which is its founding premise, is the open question. The biobanking technology page carries the wider picture.
