Abstract:

Biobanks are well-organized resources comprising biological samples and associated information that are accessible to scientific investigation. Across Europe, millions of samples with related data are held in different types of collections. While individual collections can be well organized and accessible, the resources are subject to fragmentation, insecurity of funding and incompleteness. To address these issues, a Biobanking and BioMolecular Resources Infrastructure (BBMRI) is to be developed across Europe, thereby implementing a European ‘roadmap’ for research infrastructures that was developed by a forum of EU member states and that has been received by the European Commission. In this review, we describe the work involved in preparing for the construction of BBMRI in a European and global context.

  • This site compiles the latest research and academic journals as part of an NHMRC funded study, 'Maximizing the utility and sustainability of tissue banks: Supporting translational research in Australia through informed regulation and community engagement'.

    This study is being conducted by the Centre for Values, Ethics and the Law in Medicine and the Centre for Health, Governance, Law and Ethics based at the University of Sydney, Australia. The Network for Bodies Organs and Tissues is also contributing.

    A substantial portion of the material provided in the database on this website was collected for a project on personalized medicine at the Centre for Law and Genetics at the University of Tasmania. That project is funded by Australian Research Council Discovery Grant DP11010069.
