THE DATA PROTECTION Commission confirmed it has “reached out” to the Health Research Board about the new Irish Covid-19 biobank that will store collected Covid-19 samples.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly updated Cabinet yesterday on a €2 million investment in the biobank, which will be set up in August.
Established by the Health Research Board at the request of the Department of Health, the National Irish Covid-19 Biobank (NICB) will store samples of the disease that are collected.
