The aim of the Interdisciplinary Center for Biobanking-Lübeck (ICB-L) and its participating clinical departments and institutions is to enable a high-quality collection of biospecimens and associated clinical data to be used for basic research of certain diseases. Furthermore, the collected samples and clinical data serve as basis for the identification, testing and validation of innovative biomarkers for improved early diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and follow-up and thus promote targeted therapy strategies in terms of personalized medicine.
