Biobanking

Molecular Biotechnology, 2008
Biobanks, more formally known as biological resource centers (BRCs), form an "unsung" yet critical component of the infrastructures for scientific research, industry and conservation, without which much of the current scientific activity involving microbial cultures and cell-lines would be effectively impossible.

Biobanks

2020
Abstract This chapter examines biobanks as a case study of multiple legal and governance challenges that cut across conventional jurisdictional lines. The advent of large-scale biobanks—collections of biomedical samples linked to personal data and other resources such as health records—has come to represent a watershed in health research

Human Biobanks:

2011
The chapter presents a careful comparative study on ethical and legal aspects of human biobanks both in Europe and elsewhere. The rapid expansion of human DNA sampling and data collection has taken place in the last few years, but the legal and ethical perception of this situation looks very different in European countries and beyond.
