Ontario Biobanks is a collaborative network that advances global cancer research by streamlining researcher access to high-quality biospecimens and data across institutions.

How we support researchers:

  • Review deep inventories of solid tumours and hematologic malignancies comprehensively annotated with clinical data
  • Select custom cohorts of tissue, blood, other samples and tissue-processing services tailored to your unique study requirements

How we collaborate with biobanks:

  • Share expertise and resources with the biobank community province-wide
  • Improve utilization through network referrals and increased exposure to local and global researchers
  • Participate in development of the network as we create a federated catalogue of inventories and services and a harmonized request process
