The Locator will allow for detailed privacy-preserving, multi-criteria search of samples and data sets, while also respecting the degree of control required by the biobank infrastructure operators. This will also include the development of connectors to interface to the information systems of biobanks. Is a service to allow for negotiating access of the requesters to samples and data sets hosted by the biobanks. The Negotiator focuses on making the communication between many requesters and biobanks as efficient as possible. CBmed, an Austrian funded competence center, links excellent research infrastructure, scientific expertise, medical knowledge, national and international industry partners for systematic medical biomarker research. BBMRI-ERIC provides tools, expertise as well as knowledge and experience for the biobanking community. BBMRI-ERIC CONNECTS to a series of tools and services for the pursuance of tasks and activities of the research infrastructure and provides expertise relevant to biobanking products.
