Kept for the long term
Archiving & curation
Long-term curation that keeps data discoverable and reusable.
Overview
When a study ends, its data and samples must remain safe, discoverable and reusable for years. Our Archivist curates completed study data and the biobank behind it.
From freezer and sample tracking to the public data repository, we make sure MLW's research legacy is preserved and available for future science.
