Australia launches flagship biological storage facility ‘Biobanking Victoria’

Monash University has officially launched Australia’s first industryfocused storage facility for biological material to support medical research and commercialisation opportunities. Biobanking Victoria is a stateof-the-art facility that provides a valuable link between researchers and industry, generously supported by the Victorian Government. Led by Monash University in partnership with international leader Infinity BiologiX (IBX, USA), the flagship facility is also the first in Australia and one of the few in the world to be accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA). Located within the Monash Health Translational Precinct in Clayton, Biobanking Victoria operates at international standards and provides a complete end-to-end solution for any clinical trial or research project that involves biological material.
