ASPREE Healthy Ageing Biobank travels

Jun 18, 2015

We are fortunate to have a terrific Biobank research team with a yen for travel and good food. Led by Tom Gilbert, the Biobank team of ten has clocked up hundreds of hours flying or driving around south-eastern Australia, to collect and process blood and urine samples for the Healthy Ageing Biobank.

In addition to their important research work, we are fortunate that the Biobank team likes to share adventures with us.  In turn, we would like to share these with you.
