Last two decades are characterized with a great development of biobanks worldwide. Biobanks are repositories of biological material – biosamples and associated data. Biobanks collect, store, and distribute biological samples for scientific purposes. They contribute to the better and earlier diagnosis, treatment and follow up for many diseases worldwide. They are also an important source for pharmaceutical companies in research and development of new drugs. The real and full functioning of biobanks require wide international collaboration, and currently several international bodies like European infrastructure BBMRI-ERIC (Biobanking and BioMolecular resources Research Infrastructure – European Research Infrastructure Consortium), globally ISBER (International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories) and ESBB ESBB (European, Middle Eastern & African Society for Biopreservation and Biobanking) coordinate the current and future strategies for biobanks´ development.
biobanks – research infrastructures – international cooperation
