NIBSC strategic aims:
- To respond to and advise on public health problems involving biologicals;
- To provide a national scientific capacity in the field of biological medicine, and to maintain the flexibility, expertise and facilities
needed to address new developments in science and medicine;
- To operate, and be recognised, as a leading international authority on methods of assay such as those to quantify biological activity and to
characterise and assess the safety of biologicals;
- To maintain a central role in the development of the scientific basis for control and standardisation of biologicals within Europe;
- To assist in the development of international consensus on scientific aspects of the regulation of biological medicines and, in this
respect, work closely with the World Health Organisation;
- To achieve and maintain Quality Accreditation in key areas of control and standardisation.

The Coriell Institute for Medical Research is an independent, non-profit research organization dedicated to
understanding human genetic diseases and providing the highest quality genetic resources.In addition to conducting its own research in cancer
(including breast cancer and leukaemia), human genetic variation, mechanisms of cellular differentiation, and other genetic disorders, the
Coriell Institute for Medical Research also serves the entire scientific community by maintaining the world's largest collection of human cells
for research. The identification of genes associated with Huntington Disease, cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer Disease, Down Syndrome and a severe form
of manic depression, among many others, relied on cells from these collections. |

The Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) is one of the seven institutes of the Joint Research Centre
(JRC), a Directorate-General of the European Commission (EC). The mission of the IRMM is to promote a common and reliable European measurement
system in support of EU policies.
The prime objective of the IRMM is to build confidence in the comparability of measurements by the production and dissemination of
internationally accepted quality assurance tools, including validated methods, reference materials, reference measurements,
interlaboratory comparisons and training.

ParagonDx has developed human genomic reference control products as a source of quality control materials for laboratories. ParagonDx controls are isolated from immortalized cell lines, each of which is derived from a properly consented individual. All controls are manufactured and quality control tested in a cGMP facility. In addition, six of the ParagonDx CYP2D6 controls have received FDA-clearance, and are the only controls of this kind to have gone through this rigorous validation process.

(G6RD-CT-2001-00581), and will add value and scope to this effort. This joint project
aims to develop prototype RMs for a range of genetic tests and by doing so, develop the know-how and the methodology to produce RMs for any given
molecular genetic test.
