9C: Disease domain-specific biobanks – Neuroscience insights

This session highlights biobanks advancing research on neurological and psychiatric disorders. Learn about innovative methods for collecting, managing, and sharing samples and data across diagnostics and research. Hear how these biobanks drive molecular insights into diseases with often unclear underpinnings and limited diagnostic markers.

Speakers included in this session:

• Viktor Molnár – From federated pilot to National Node: Advancing neurodegenerative biobanks through data quality and phenotype clustering

• Marta Kalousova – The role of biobank in introduction of a new biomarker – NfL (neurofilament light chain) to clinical practice – from research to diagnostics thanks to biobank

• Paola Valentino – The role of the CRESM Biobank and its sample sharing in advancing multiple sclerosis research

• Pieter Moons – Banking the brain

This session will be chaired by Mieke De Wilde, MSc. and Dr. Maria Judit Molnar.
