The SwiSCI biobank is a unique platform designed to serve as a basis for collaborative SCI research, including multi-omics approaches. The longitudinal collection of biospecimens and cryopreservation of multiple aliquots for each participant are fundamental for scrutinizing the temporal associations, ensuring research reproducibility, and achieving an adequate sample size for future investigations.
