Step Inside the Danish National Biobank

by Danish National Biobank

The Danish National Biobank is a treasury of science for international health research. It contains 10 million biosamples across an array of diagnostic categories, as well as the Danish Biobank Register that links over 25 million biosamples in Danish biobanks to vast amounts of register information. This podcast will take listeners inside and close to some of the amazing research done through the Danish National Biobank, and hopefully it will inspire future research collaborators.
