[AfSHG-Listserv] Biobanking:European-African Chapter Interest Group on Linkedin

[Pasquale De Blasio]

Dear all

At the ISBER biobanking meeting in Rotterdam organized by the International
Society of Biological and Environmental Repositories (ISBER) last month we
set a new records for the number of delegates and the number of abstracts
submitted.  From this and much other evidence, there is a high level of
interest in biobanking in Europe.

Steps are being taken to form a European African Chapter (or sub-division)
of ISBER which will provide all the services offered by the parent society
but concentrated specifically in Europe and Africa.
The Biobankung: European-African Chapter will organize frequent and
reasonably priced conferences and meetings, workshops and courses for the
whole European and African biobanking community, including representatives
of all kinds of biobank for human as well as non-human samples.

You are cordially invited to join our LinkedIn discussion group, to help
plan this new initiative.  The name of the discussion group is:
Biobanking:European Chapter Interest Group  (Go to: Groups, then Groups
Directory, Then search on the keyword ³Biobanking²). So far we have more
than 170 members, which is encouraging for just 1 week!   If you are not yet
a member of LinkedIn, then you would first need to register at
www.linkedin.com <http://www.linkedin.com> .  It is a very simple process
and completely free.

Your active involvement in this new chapter would be greatly appreciated.If
you have any questions please contact either myself (p.deblasio at biorep.it).

Ciao,

Pasquale
