Study participants

Find study participants and contact biobank sample donors.

Fast and targeted patient recruitment

Finnish biobanks offer unique opportunities for finding study participants for new clinical trials and studies. Most of the consenting biobank sample donors can be recontacted for new biomedical research.

Find study participants at aggregate level by visiting our Catalogue. By registering, you can submit a feasibility request for more detailed information about the sample and data availability.

Prior sample donor consent ensures that the sample donor has already given their consent to hearing about clinical and other studies. The study participants can be selected based on genotype and/or phenotype information.

With Fingenious® Service, finding study participants among sample donors in Finnish biobanks is easier. Research-targeted subject recruiting into biomedical and clinical research is faster and the recruiting progress for the clinical research can be monitored easily.

Contacting sample donors can be a major advantage, as you can perform targeted patient recruitment for clinical and other biomedical studies based on genotype and/or phenotype or distribution of questionnaires.


Access to high-quality biobank assets allows you to choose a desired combination of sample and associated biodata and link this with recontacting sample donors. Rare patient populations that are highly complex and low volume are hard to find for clinical studies.

The Fingenious database consists of hundreds of thousands of genotyped individuals with biobank consent, and it can provide a solution for detecting and reaching relevant candidates.

We will also provide support for any outstanding end-to-end needs: FINBB and the biobank network can offer compliance and clinician help provided to set up a study or clinical trial site.
