Welcome to this Europe Biobank Week Congress Radio special. It recorded live from the Europe Biobank Week Congress that happened in Vienna, Austria from 14-17 May 2024.

The EBW Congress highlights cutting-edge biobanking innovations and research. Held over four days, it featured expert workshops, keynotes, over 85 oral and 140 poster presentations from across the biobanking community.

Keynotes are an opportunity to hear from leading experts in the field. This episode features the first keynote that was delivered by Sir Rory Collins, Principal Investigator and Chief Executive of UK Biobank.

About UK Biobank

The biobank involves 500,000 participants and it is the largest deeply characterised prospective study available for any type of health research that is in the public interest. More than 30,000 researchers worldwide currently use it and generated more than 3000 papers in 2023 alone.

The title of Prof. Collins' talk is ‘UK Biobank: scale, depth, duration … but, most importantly, accessibility’ and it was delivered to a packed plenary hall.

We interviewed Sir Rory to ask what he hoped delegates would take from his talk. You can find that piece within day two of #EBW24 Congress Radio found at europebiobankweek.eu.
