Modern research, aimed at discovering factors that influence health and disease, requires large collections of data and samples. Collaboration between biobanks is therefore essential. The Dutch hub in the network of biobanks, the Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources Research Infrastructure (BBMRI-NL), is one of the major Dutch biobanking initiatives. It is sponsored by the Dutch government through the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). BBMRI-NL sets up collaboration between approximately 150 existing clinical and population biobanks in the Netherlands, and forms the link with the European BBMRI initiative. BBMRI-NL aims at enrichment and harmonization of existing Dutch biobanks, at data management and analysis, and at laying the legal, social and ethical foundations, in order to improve access and inter-operability, and to render the information and organization up to date. Other major Dutch initiatives are String of Pearls and LifeLines. Together these will create the conditions needed for Dutch researchers to further develop their strong position in the international biobanking field.
旨在发现影响健康与疾病因素的现代研究需要大量的数据和样本收集。因此，生物样本库之间的合作至关重要。荷兰生物样本库网络中的枢纽，即生物样本库与生物分子资源研究基础设施（BBMRI-NL），是荷兰主要的生物样本库计划之一。它由荷兰政府通过荷兰科学研究组织（NWO）赞助。BBMRI-NL在荷兰约150个现有的临床和人群生物样本库之间建立合作，并与欧洲BBMRI计划建立联系。BBMRI-NL旨在丰富和协调现有的荷兰生物样本库，进行数据管理和分析，并奠定法律、社会和伦理基础，以改善获取和互操作性，并使信息和组织与时俱进。荷兰的其他主要计划是“珍珠链”和“生命线”。这些计划共同将为荷兰研究人员在国际生物样本库领域进一步巩固其强大地位创造所需条件。
