Sanela Kjellqvist
Head of KI Biobank Core Facility (KIBB)About us
We started in 2004 and we are a biobank facility, providing service for pre-analytical handling, storage and distribution of human biological samples. We comply with The Swedish Biobank Act (2023:38) and GDPR.
According to the Swedish Biobank Act (2023:38), all human identifiable samples stored for more than 9 months must be registered and traceable in a biobank. This also applies to samples collected in ethically approved research studies.
KI Biobank is part of the national network Biobank Sweden, where we collaborate regionally with the Stockholm Medical Biobank (SMB).
