Translational Research Working Group (GIT)

Grupo de Trabajo GIT

The Translational Research Working Group (Grupo de Investigación Traslacional, GIT) of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica, SEOM) was constituted in October 2009 during the XII National Meeting of SEOM, with the objective of helping clinical investigators to perform translational research projects in biological samples.

Specifically the GIT pretends to give support to clinical researchers:

  • Helping to ensure that the current legislation for research in biological samples is followed, in order to protect the rights of the patients.
  • Designing homogeneous protocols to obtain, process, store and deliver biological samples, to facilitate the conduct of multicentric projects, specially in the setting of Cancer Cooperative Groups, guaranteeing the quality of the processes.
  • Fostering the collaboration between clinical and basic research groups, to optimize the yield of the biological samples
