The biospecimen research protocol is the cornerstone of any research utilizing precious biological samples and serves as a crucial tool to support both large and small biobanking programs.  Determining the quality of biological specimens continues to be a significant challenge for all research programs as investigators struggle to delineate biological change from specimen artifact.  Both financial and specimen management are interrelated components of any archival strategy which require careful management to ensure the quality and accessibility of renewable and more importantly, non-renewable biological resources.  The management of biorepository protocols is one of the largest and most important considerations when calculating costs in biobanking programs today, putting sustainable quality operations of biospecimen resources at risk.  While often overlooked, proactive management and design of biobanking protocols can dramatically improve & address critical issues helping most programs achieve the quality required for serving their community.

Advances in molecular high-throughput assays for gene expression (DNA/RNA) signatures have generated the parallel need for well annotated properly preserved biospecimens. Samples from both diseased and unaffected normal tissues are often required. Like traditional banks, biobanks are meant to be used and are most useful when the needs of end-users (researchers) are considered. Thus, a well managed biobank is a critical prerequisite for high-quality biological research. Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Inaugural The Science of Biobanking is uniquely designed to explore the critical interactions between bioDEPOSITORS, bioBANKERS, and bioRECIPENTS who are all invested in the future of bioMOLECULAR research.

Biobanks provide the resource for researchers to increase our understanding of complex disease. Biosample resources come together through a complex chain of cooperation across collection, preservation, storage, retrieval, and research. The value of these biosamples lies not only in the samples themselves but with the metadata associated with each specimen. Information Management (IM) helps simplify data from inventory management to database integration through to data analysis. Learn from biobank managers and IT professionals as they share their experience of conquering the complexity of biobanking.

The scientific challenges that biobanks currently face is only half of the problem.  The integration of fiscal responsibility for the design, creation and implementation of both small and large biobanks is of paramount importance.  This digital course will address the practical operational issues from a scientific and fiscal perspective when creating, transitioning and managing a comprehensive biobanking and lab services program.  Tools will be provided to help scientists, managers and business units grow existing programs in a fiscally responsible manner without sacrificing science or sample quality.
