Biobanking Comes of Age: The Transition to Biospecimen Science.

摘要: Biobanking involves the collection, processing, storage, and distribution of biological specimens policies procedures necessary to accomplish those aims successfully. Although biobanking may also involve collections for environmental studies or museum archives, most efforts standardize practices have been directed toward human biomedical research. Initially focused primarily on collecting samples diagnostic purposes in pathology settings, biobanks evolved into complex organizations engaged advancing personalized (or precision) medicine translational This evolution has involved development best transformation a field driven by empirical approaches emerging area biospecimen science. It become increasingly important develop evidence-based biospecimens data that can be shared with confidence international collaborators. Aside from these technical approaches, other fac...
