The Durrer Center
The Durrer Center for Cardiovascular Research was founded in 2008 as a facility of the Netherlands Heart Institute (NL-HI). NL-HI fosters collaboration between university medical centers in the Netherlands and between scientists and the private sector within the cardiovascular domain.
Durrer Center provides expertise and services to collect, analyse, manage, store, archive and share clinical research data, images and biomaterials. The main principle is that biomaterials and research data are Findable (F), Interoperable (I), Accessible (A) and Reusable (R).
Services
Durrer Center stands for high quality services on:
- Biobanking: storage services for biological materials (usually human) and related clinical data for use in research.Materials can be sera, plasma, liquor, urine, feces, tissues, cells or molecular fractions, such as DNA and RNA. More information on biobanking services go to biobanking.
- Data management support: All kinds of data management assistance to researchers in all stages of their research. This can range from practical guidance, support, infrastructure coordination and advice on managing your research data. More information on data management services go to the data management section.
Study Catalogue
The Durrer Center endorses the sharing and reusing of scientific data. To facilitate finding and localizing of data and biological samples, we provide you with sophisticated searchable metadata catalogues. Our metadata catalogues are financially supported by BBMRI-NL, an initiative for improving research infrastructure financed by the Dutch government (NWO 184.021.007).
Durrer Center studies Catalogue:
This catalogue provides an overview of the biological samples stored in our central biobank. Studies are documented in a standardized way, so that you can either browse around our database or tailor advanced search queries.
DZHK:
The DZHK has a clear mission: We want to develop new therapies and diagnostic procedures that have an impact on the lives of people suffering from cardiovascular diseases. To achieve this, we aim to rapidly and efficiently transfer results from basic research into clinical practice.
