On 13 and 15 December, the EWGPWD met online for a consultation with the European Biobank, EBiSC. EBiSC is a biobank that stores cells so that they can make them available to other researchers. The EBiSC biobank is a not-for-profit which was initially founded through a European project and is now operated in the UK and Germany. During the meeting, members of the EWGPWD were asked about their first impressions and opinions about EBiSC. Members also commented on how understandable the EBiSC website page is for the general public. The members were then asked about whether they had any concerns about commercial companies using such biological material and the pros and cons of sharing IPS cells. All the EWGPWD participated actively during the meeting, sharing very helpful feedback and opinions.
