P3G — 10 years of toolbuilding: From the population biobank to the clinic

Over the past ten years, the Public Population Project in Genomics and Society (“P3G”) has grown as a consortium. It has expanded its range of services and resources to adapt to the ever-evolving needs of the research community. From its outset – when P3G first tackled the building of biobanks as resources as well as data cataloguing and harmonization for data integration – to its new mission and vision, it has continually developed the tools for the conceptualization and design of population biobanks from their inception to their use to their closure. In so doing, P3G has become key in fostering research infrastructures to facilitate transition to the clinic. The consortium has become a crucial stakeholder in the international scientific, ethical, legal, and social research communities.
