STEERING COMMITTEE
STEERING COMMITTEE RESPONSABILITIES
The Steering Committee (SC) is responsible for making strategic decisions on the scientific priorities of the BQC19, in line with the evolution of the pandemic. It ensures that the biobank’s management framework remains aligned with these priorities.
The CD manages the databases, the inventory of samples and their basic analyses. It also facilitates access to these resources for the scientific community, in accordance with the decisions of the biobank’s independent Access Committee. In addition, it ensures the dissemination of scientific results and promotes the sharing of spin-offs, notably through the development of national and international partnerships.
