The EuroBioBank network is the first operating network of biobanks in Europe providing human DNA, cell and tissue samples as a service to the scientific community conducting research on rare diseases. It is the only network dedicated to rare disease research in Europe. By creating a critical mass of collections and facilitating the exchange of biological material, the EuroBioBank network helps accelerate research on these diseases. * Over 440,000 samples are available across the network and can be requested via the online catalogue. Approximately 13,000 samples are collected each year and 7,000 samples distributed in Europe and beyond. The biological samples are obtained from patients affected by rare diseases, including rare neuromuscular disorders. * The EuroBioBank Network is currently composed of 18 members, of which 16 biobanks from 8 European countries (France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Slovenia, Spain and the United-Kingdom) as well as Israel and Canada. Goals * Identify and localize biological material of interest to researchers * Build a critical mass of rare disease sample collections * Distribute high quality material and associated data to users * Promote best-practice guidelines for biobanking activities * Disseminate knowledge and know-how to the scientific community through training courses * Enhance collaboration with the medical and scientific community in the field of rare diseases EuroBioBank acts as a clearing house or virtual bank, with all samples listed in the central online catalogue remaining in the possession of the member biobanks, where they are located and can be requested. The network was established by patients and researchers to facilitate research on rare diseases by guaranteeing quick and easy access to samples via an online catalogue. The catalogue lists the samples available throughout the EuroBioBank network by type of biomaterial. A search engine enables a search by disease or by bank contact. Once a sample has been located in the catalogue, it can be requested by email. Therefore, the biological material is exchanged faster. If a sample does not appear in the EuroBioBank catalogue, help can be provided to further search it at: eurobiobank (at) telethon.it Funding and Collaboration Originally funded by the EC between 2003-2006, the EuroBioBank received further EC support between 2007-2011 within the European Network of Excellence TREAT-NMD (FP6), which covered the cost sustained by Eurordis for the network coordination and website hosting. Each biobank of the network is financed by its own Institution or charitable organization. As of January 2012, the Fondazione Telethon provides the administrative support for coordinating the EuroBioBank network and hosting the website.

A biobank of human biological material and genetic information. It provides samples and information to researchers in order to identify new genes and clarify pathogenic mechanisms of diseases. The biobank offers biochemical and molecular diagnoses of genetic dystonias, Parkinson's disease and NBIA disorders, as well as storage of biological samples for external institutions.

TREAT-NMD is a network for the neuromuscular field that is creating the infrastructure to ensure that the most promising new therapies reach patients as quickly as possible. Since its launch in January 2007 the network''s focus has been on the development of tools that industry, clinicians and scientists need to bring novel therapeutic approaches through preclinical development and into the clinic, and on establishing best-practice care for neuromuscular patients worldwide.

Since 1990 Telethon, along with millions of Italians, has stepped up to the challenge of beating muscular dystrophy and the other genetic diseases. It is a marathon against time, because there are many people who live with these rare disorders, and the resources to deal with them have to be carefully measured out because there is not much public or private funding invested in this field of research, and the path to finding cures is often long and tortuous. The foundation In order to guarantee as much research funding as possible into muscular dystrophy and other genetic diseases, the Telethon team works throughout the year and has adopted a management system for the donated funds that is strict and efficient. For every euro raised by Telethon, about eighty euro cents reach the cutting edge laboratories and excellent research centers. Scientific area The selection of the best research projects, the funding of dedicated researchers and the foundation and maintenance of its research institutes make Telethon a point of Italian excellence in the world. Along with recognition from the international scientific community, Telethon's world of research is the biggest ally of all the people who live with muscular dystrophy or other genetic disorders every day. The online database provides complete information about the projects funded by Telethon from 1991 to the present. The archive contains information about all the Foundation's efforts in the field of biomedical research. In addition to a search by disease, it is possible, using the advanced search function, to interrogate the database by groups of disorders, by the name of a researcher or research institute, or by the town, province, or region where projects are based. The use of another search filter makes it possible to check which research projects are ongoing and which have come to an end.
