Steering committee in PBCB

In PBCB, a steering committee has been appointed to ensure that the biological material and associated data are managed in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and internal instructions for research.

The steering committee is responsible for ensuring that the interests of the participants are safeguarded. It therefore processes applications for new research projects that wish to access the collected biological material or obtain results from analyses.

The steering committee also facilitates collaboration with external institutions to the extent that the activities in PBCB warrant it.
