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 samples collected within the realms of a health care provider must be registered and traceable in a biobank. This also goes for samples collected within ethically approved research studies.
We cooperate regionally in the KI / Region Stockholm joint biobanking infrastructure Stockholm Medical Biobank (SMB), and nationally with the cooperation agency Biobank Sweden. We also cooperate internationally with Mayo Clinic, United States.
