Abstract

The creation of the cohort of COVID19 patients and samples associated with the IISGS Biobank in the health area of Vigo is the basis for the study of the COVID19 disease in a standardized and quality way. It will allow the execution of clinical and experimental studies to increase our knowledge and optimize the prevention, diagnosis, clinical follow-up and treatment of patients infected by SARS-COV-2 at a local and global level, favoring consortia and study groups with other national centers and international organizations for the development of joint research projects. To this end, a Coordination Unit of the COVID19-IISGS Cohort and a Scientific-Technical Committee have been created for the evaluation of research projects that require the use of data and samples from the cohort once they have the approval of the Relevant Ethics Committees.
