Your samples will be stored in the Biobank designated by HKGI. HKGI will abide by strict guidelines and management processes to handle the samples. Your samples will be stored for seven years after the completion of the Project. If a longer duration is required to complete the Project, HKGI will seek endorsement from relevant research ethics committees.

In addition, when necessary, some samples may be kept in the Partnering Centre’s laboratory for clinical use.
