Bank of lung disease samples (Lung Biobank Platform)
This is a collection of lung tissue samples and relevant clinical information obtained from patients who must undergo pulmonary resection surgery for treatment purposes. The collection includes samples of lung tissue, but may also include other related biological samples (blood, plasma, sputum, broncho-alveolar lavage).
The historical origin of this collection is the node between Hospital del Mar and the Pulmonary Biobank Platform of CIBERES.

Scientific purpose and interest
With the aim to promote multinational biomedical research we provide biospecimens and quality data to national and international researchers.
Make a contribution to improve the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases.
