IT coordinator responsible for data, operations and system development

Do you want to help strengthen Region Zealand's contribution to the future of personalized medicine?

The government and Danish Regions have in Strategy for Personalized Medicine 2025‑2027 set a clear direction: health data and biobanks must be used better to benefit research, innovation and patient care. Region Zealand's Biobank has the task of developing, operating and maintaining the IT system that shall support all regions so that an overview can be created of all samples stored in biobanks. The aim is to create a basis for better transparency in the near future for citizens and patients.

Region Zealand's Biobank is therefore seeking an IT coordinator who initially will be responsible for data collection in the region. The goal is for the position over time to develop into a central role with responsibility for support, documentation, operation and the ongoing development of the system.

The position is particularly relevant for you who have an IT professional background and want to work at the intersection of IT, data, research and the health service.

About us

Region Zealand's Biobank is a 'biobank hotel' that provides all forms of biobank services to support patient care, diagnostics and research. We coordinate and document collection, sample logistics and storage of biological material and ensure full traceability of the samples from the moment the sample is collected until it is handed out.

In Region Zealand's Biobank we use Labware LIMS. The cross-regional solution is built on the same platform and is to create a better overview of biological samples for citizens and researchers.

You will become part of a small, highly competent and engaged team where professionalism, quality and collaboration are at the forefront. We carry out our tasks collectively and contribute with each of our areas of expertise to find the best solutions for our customers. It is precisely the interplay between our competencies that makes us strong as a team. A team you can become part of.
