The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is pleased to announce the launch of a new website dedicated to the Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) Biobank and Cohort Building Network (BCNet). The BCNet initiative provides an opportunity for LMICs to work together in a coordinated and effective manner to jointly address the many challenges in biobanking infrastructure. The establishment of BCNet is supported by several international organizations and biobanking societies, including the National Cancer Institute - Center for Global Health (NCI-CGH), ISBER, ESBB, BBMRI-ERIC, and AORTIC, which participate in the BCNet Advisory Committee, and funding support is provided by NCI-CGH. The new website will facilitate the sharing of resources (expertise, guidelines, protocols, and standard operating procedures) between BCNet members and partners, encourage the development of joint projects, and foster collaboration.Visit the BCNet website
