GHTM/IHMT NOVA has a biobank – Biotropical Resources (BIOTROP) – an infrastructure designed to provide high-quality biological resources to the scientific community, in order to support research on health sciences, particularly on tropical medicine and infectious diseases.
BIOTROP is prepared to receive, preserve, and distribute biological samples according to biobank guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures in strict compliance with ethical standards and the Nagoya protocol. In 2019, data management and confidentiality good practices were recognized through the Data Privacy Impact Assessment (DPIA) evaluation performed by NOVA Data Protection Officer (DPO). The biobank is part of the Portuguese Roadmap of Research Infrastructures, as member of two networks – Portuguese microBiological Resources Center Network (Pt-mBRCN, www.mbrcn.pt) and National Biobanks Infrastructure (Biobanco.pt, www.biobanco.pt).
