Platforms
Platform FATBANK
In 2015 the main achievements of the platform were:
• A face-to-face meeting in Barcelona of all the PIs, the director of the Institut d’Investigació Biomèdica de Girona (IDIBGI) and the coordinator of the Bio- banco IDIBGI, to consolidate the implication of all the nodes and establish cooperation agreements of the FATBANK platform at the IDIBGI Biobank.
• Incorporating the protocol for collecting stools, in order to obtain more data. At present the co- llection of stool samples has been added to the FATBANK collection, meaning that the samples currently collected from each donor are: serum, EDTA plasma, buffy coat, visceral and parietal adipose tissue and stools.
• Updating the version of FATBANK’s informed con- sent, including the collection of stool samples: CI Fatbank Biobank IDIB- GI_V3. After being appro- ved by the CEIC of IDIBGI Biobank this has been distributed to all the nodes in order to obtain the approval of their respective committees.
THE NUMBER OF SAMPLES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IS:
• Updating of Standardised Operating Procedures (SOPs):
> obtaining serum > EDTA plasma
