The P.I.G/TIBA biobank is a unique collection of samples that have been accumulated over a period of over 20 years. These samples are invaluable in the ongoing research into Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD’s) such as Schistosomiasis. The samples comprise Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC), Plasma, Sera, DNA, RNA, Urine and Stool. The biobank is curated at the University of Edinburgh’s Kings Buildings Ashworth Laboratories. The P.I.G/TIBA
biobank is continually growing with samples being collected as part of ongoing studies into NTD’s.
