Biospecimen Research Group

Organisation profile

Provide direct research support to the Biorefinery team, other research groups within LIH and future TMOH collaborators to address specific biospecimen-related issues that compromise the quality or efficiency of their work. 
Carry out research that improves the efficiency by which clinical biospecimens are utilised by the research community and generally, enabling more research to be performed with less clinical material.  
Disseminating the expertise of IBBL and LIH by publishing high quality Biospecimen Science Research papers and engaging with the global research community in matters relating to Biospecimen Science.
