NCRI Confederation of Cancer Biobanks

The National Cancer Research Institute's (NCRI) Confederation of Cancer Biobanks (CCB) was launched in October 2006 at the NCRI Cancer Conference. onCore UK is proud to have been a founder of the CCB.

The Confederation of Cancer Biobanks (CCB) is a consortium of organisations based in the UK that are involved in the development, management and use of biobank resources for cancer research.

  

The Confederation aims to promote and disseminate a collective view on best practices for biobanks and to promote transfer of knowledge and experiences between banks. While individual banks retain their full autonomy, membership leads to mutual benefit, ensures complementarities, avoids unnecessary competition and ensures a coordinated approach to cancer biosample provision.
