This unit of the Biobank was previously a member of the Network of Tumour Banks of Andalusia. However, since January 2013, it has been a unit of the Biobank of the Public Health System of Andalusia (SSPA).

The unit achieves this by promoting rapid response times facilitated by direct and face-to-face communication with professionals specialized in various fields, offering access to a wide range of samples or data (under the protection of current biomedical legislation), and enabling the adjustment of rates to the benefit of the researcher.
