director's choice seminar III
Biobanking: how can we make it meet the needs of researchers?
In the final Director’s Choice Seminar for 2021, our guest speakers and panellists will put the spotlight on the field of biobanking in medical research. They will share their experiences in obtaining and collecting biological and clinical data from human subjects to establish and maintain successful biobanks, along with the enablers and barriers they have encountered. We’ve also asked them to share their big-picture learnings.
