title: Designing and implementing a biobanking IT framework for multiple research scenarios.
abstract: This paper presents a biobanking IT framework, comprising a set of integrated biobanking information technology components. It provides adaptable and scalable IT support for varying biobanking scenarios, workflows and projects, while avoiding redundancy in data and technology. Feasibility of this approach is illustrated by implementations for four different biobanking projects at Erlangen University Hospital and with cooperating partners in Münster and Lübeck.
