Scientific Research Event - London, UK
Access to samples is paramount to scientific research. DNA, RNA, proteins, cells and tissues of all types are being stored centrally for later use in experiments conducted by academia and industry alike. This has given rise to the concept of Biobanking, which in 2009 was described by Time Magazine as one of the ’10 Ideas Changing the World Right Now’.
Although not an entirely new conception, there is significant change driving current development. With greater impetus being put on data sharing, interoperability and harmonisation of biobanks, single centre research facilities are evolving into research infrastructures. Considering that sharing, storing and using biosamples can vary wildly in cost, social and scientific impact there are efforts now being made to associate value to existing biological resources.
