ColdGene represents a collaboration between The Museum of Natural History and Archaeology, NTNU, (www.ntnu.no/vitenskapsmuseet) and HUNT biobank (LINK). The Muesum is responsible for the collection and handling of specimens, while HUNT biobank is responsible for storing the material.

In time we would like other university museums in Norway and Scandinavia to participate in this collaboration and contribute with their competence.
