The sample collection of our ICAN BioCell – Human Liver Biology platform specialising in chronic liver diseases
Thanks to the support of the AP-HP, INSERM and Sorbonne University, the ICAN IHU has a biological platform specialising in chronic liver diseases: ICAN BioCell – Human Liver Biology. The platform maintains a collection of liver cell samples and human body products and participates in collaborative research projects on liver diseases.
We would like to thank all the patients who have agreed to participate in the ICAN BioCell – Human Liver Biology collection. Research into chronic liver diseases is making progress thanks to you.
If you have made a donation to the ICAN BioCell – Human Liver Biology collection and wish to object to one or more of the research studies, you can contact the surgeon who operated on you, or inform mesdonnées@ihuican.org

The processing of personal data associated with the management of biological samples by ICAN BioCollection
What is a biological sample?
A biological sample is an element or product from your body. It may be a liquid sample (blood, saliva, vaginal fluid, etc.) or a tissue sample (skin, liver, mucous membrane, etc.). The taking of human samples for medical research is strictly regulated and cannot be carried out without the donor’s agreement. You are free to participate in a medical project. Take the time to think about it or discuss it with your family if you need to.
What is a Biological Resource Centre (BRC)?
A Biological Resource Centre (BRC) is a biobank specialising in the medium- and long-term storage of biological samples. ICAN has its own BRC, ICAN BioCollection. Biological samples are collected as part of your hospital treatment or during an industrial or institutional medical research programme. After collection, these biological samples are coded to guarantee your confidentiality (people’s names are replaced by a code) and stored in a database. At the CRB ICAN BioCollection, samples are treated for preservation and kept at low temperatures (-20°C, -80°C and -150°C) to guarantee their integrity for future analysis. the collections of samples stored in the CRB ICAN BioCollection will be used by doctors and researchers to advance scientific and medical knowledge in the field of cardiometabolism (obesity, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, heart failure, metabolic fatty liver, acute coronary syndrome, etc.). ICAN BioCollection is subject to strict and demanding regulations, and guarantees the quality and traceability of biological samples.
ICAN BioCollection is certified by an independent body to ISO 9001 and NF-S-96900 quality standards.
What happens to samples after medical research?
If all the samples are not used during the research, the remaining samples may be kept for further research, provided that this is stipulated in the initial protocol approved by the ethics committee and that the participant has been informed and has not objected. Otherwise, the data will be destroyed at the end of the study.
What types of data are likely to be collected by the CRB?
The data that may be processed by the CRB ICAN BioCollection includes personal data (age, sex, date of medical visit, pathology) and data relating to the samples collected (sample code, type of sample, date of processing and storage, etc.). The purpose of the processing is to prepare or store samples for the purposes of conducting clinical studies, for which ICAN may act as a sub-contractor to the sponsor or as the data controller. The legal basis for ICAN’s processing is the public interest, in accordance with its mission as a public research service.
This processing complies with the provisions of the CNIL (French Data Protection Act) and the General Data Protection Regulation.
