Biobank
Term:
Biobank
Definition:
A repository for storing biological samples, such as blood or tissue, collected during a clinical trial.
What is a Biobank?
A biobank is a facility or repository where biological samples—such as blood, tissue, saliva, or DNA—are collected, processed, stored, and managed for use in research. These samples are linked to detailed information about the donors, such as medical history, lifestyle, or genetic data, all stored securely and confidentially. Biobanks support a wide range of medical research, including studies on disease mechanisms, treatment development, and public health trends.
For example, in a cancer research study, a biobank might store tumor tissue samples from participants to investigate genetic markers that predict treatment response.
Why are Biobanks Important?
Biobanks are critical for advancing medical research and improving healthcare outcomes. Key benefits include:
- Accelerating Research: Provides researchers with access to high-quality biological samples and associated data.
- Discovering New Treatments: Enables studies that identify disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
- Personalized Medicine: Supports the development of treatments tailored to individual genetic or biological profiles.
- Large-Scale Studies: Facilitates epidemiological research by pooling data from diverse populations.
- Long-Term Resource: Allows for future research as scientific techniques and questions evolve.
Biobanks are a cornerstone of modern biomedical research, enabling breakthroughs that improve patient care.
