Welcome to the Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research Branch!
The Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research Branch (BBRB) enables translational research that brings patients closer to precision medicine by providing leadership, tools, resources, and policies in biobanking. BBRB also sponsors and facilitates research studies that form the basis of evidence-based biospecimen best practices to guide cancer research. We put these best practices to work in leading NCI and NIH biobanking programs to support critical scientific needs.
