Biobank Ireland Trust (BIT) was founded in 2004 by Ciarán Flanagan and Professor Eoin Gaffney. It is a not-for-profit body (Charity Reg. No. 20057176) with 3 directors/trustees (Eoin Gaffney, Richard Flavin, and Ciarán Flanagan) and a scientific advisory board.

Biobank Ireland Trust oversees a network of Irish hospital biobanks - sharing resources and expertise, with sufficient samples and data to achieve meaningful research findings that may ultimately become translated into precision medicines.

A Vodafone Ireland Foundation “World of Difference” award in August 2008 enabled Blanaid Mee to work with Biobank Ireland Trust, and with Eoin Gaffney, she set up the St. James’s Hospital Histopathology Biobank in the Department of Histopathology in St. James’s Hospital. The network of hospital Biobanks has expanded since 2008 with Cork University Hospital (CUH) and Galway University Hospital (GUH) added.


Biobank Ireland Trust (BIT) adheres to all regulations outlined by the Charities Regulator and is mindful of our responsibilities to the vast number of stakeholders including patients, researchers, hospitals, contributors, investors, and other Biobanks
