Human biomaterial banks (short: biobanks) are collections of human body substances (i.e. blood, DNA, urine or tissue) connected with disease specific information. This allow for research of relations between deseases and underlying (molecular) modifications and paves the way for developing target-oriented therapies ("personalized medicine"). The biobank material arises from samples taken for therapeutical or diagnostic reasons or is extracted in the context of clinical trials. An approval for usage by the patient is always needed prior to any research activities.

LIVIVO is an interdisciplinary search engine for literature and information in the field of life sciences. It is run by ZB MED – Information Centre for Life Sciences. LIVIVO automatically searches for the terms you enter in a central index of all the databases. The ZB MED Searchportal already provides a large amount of research data from DataCite data centres (e.g. Beijing Genomics Institute, Natural Environment Research Council) in the field of life sciences. These can be searched directly using the "Documenttype=research data" filter. A further integration of data from life science data repositories is planned.
