Designed to attract industry leaders and academics, this comprehensive two-day Congress will showcase the very best approaches for optimizing the biobanking process from beginning to end. This conference will explore the best strategies for ensuring quality assured biological samples, essential for the advancement of R&D in life sciences as a whole. Case studies from top biobanks and research organisations will offer different perspectives on biosample management, and look to the future with emerging technologies such as digital and cloud-based sample management, and the integration of artificial intelligence and automated systems into the biobanking process.
This conference will explore the top strategies for ensuring quality assured biological samples, essential for the advancement of R&D in life sciences as a whole. Case studies from top biobanks and research organisations will offer different perspectives on biosample management, and look to the future with emerging technologies such as mobile biobanking, digital and cloud-based sample management, and automated storage and retrieval systems.
The management, protection, and sharing of associated biomedical data will be a key focus, demonstrating how collaborative frameworks and open-source informatics can further the field of biobanking, and therefore clinical research in the future. The importance of ethical and regulatory considerations for maximizing clinical impact will also be discussed, with key issues such as privacy, ownership, and informed consent debated in an hour long panel discussion. The Congress will provide a forum to network, learn, and engage with experts and representatives from pharmaceutical companies, leading institutions, and recognized biobanks worldwide.
