Biobank Research

IMERI FK UI Tower Riset 9th Floor Jl. Salemba Raya No. 6, Central Jakarta

Research Biobank (RB) IMERI Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia (FMUI) is a unit which aims to support many types of basic and translational research. The Biobank stores human biological samples for use in research. The samples are derived from patients whom operated with diagnostic or therapeutic purposes and already giving their consent for storing of their tissues in RB.

Biobank Research IMERI is a member of International Society for Biological and Enviromental Repositories (ISBER). ISBER is the global forum that addresses scientific, technical, legal, and ethical issues for biobanks and biorepositories. The advantages to improve quality of biorepositories and biobanking management in Biobank Research IMERI.

Sample collections of RB are formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue and fresh tissue without fixative stored in -80 C. Each specimen has clinical/pathological data regarding age, sex, histopathology diagnosis, and appropriate clinical data. RB keeps these specimens in good condition until researchers need them to conduct a test, do an experiment, or perform an analysis. Variety of medical students from all level, health care researcher, and scientist will be benefit from the services RB offered.
