BioBanking Congress

Today, biospecimen collections are used by multiple research groups for varying research aims from basic research through clinical trials. A well managed biobank is a critical prerequisite for high-quality biological research. Proper collection, processing, storage, and tracking of biospecimens are critical components allowing researchers to better link molecular and clinical information. Thus, by necessity, biobanking is both a science and a business. Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Third International Leaders in Biobanking Congress addresses both the business and science angles of biobanking, bringing together biomedical and biopharmaceutical researchers, regulators, biorepository managers, and practitioners to investigate the best tactics for effective use of biospecimens within today’s cutting edge research.
