Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD Students from NorDoc member universities. All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from NorDoc member universities. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list. Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. Understand the many facets of modern biobanking and the link to personalised medicine 2. Be able to apply for required ethical and data approvals 3. Undertake a solid research project based on biobank samples 4. Discuss the ELSI aspects (ethical, legal and societal implications) of biobanking 5. See the patients perspective and how biobanking research impacts on the society Content The objective of this 5-day PhD course is to give insights and later deepen the student’s understanding in the multidisciplinary world of biobanking. Offered from Copenhagen University and with the collaboration of Danish National Biobank, University of Helsinki and The Spanish National Cancer Research Centre, the course aims to provide the students with a core set of tools to gain better understanding of the key role of biobanking in translational medicine. The goal is to provide an interdisciplinary perspective on the historical, philosophical, ethical, legal, social, technical and cultural aspects related to the collection, storage, use and dissemination of human biological samples and health information. After completion of the course the students will have a broad understanding of biobanking, as well as the challenges associated with collaboration between the different stakeholders. The course will also provide the students with the opportunity to network with students from other European countries, as well as with a broad spectrum of international speakers. The course also offers a site visit to the Danish National Biobank.
