About ISBER-IRL

The International Repository Locator (IRL) is an initiative by ISBER to help investigators locate biospecimen and data repositories by developing a directory of repository information that can be searched online. The International Repository Locator also seeks to increase the profile of research and biobanking activities being supported by individual repositories amongst key global stakeholders including scientific societies, researchers, funding bodies, governments, consortia and private industry.
