Global Events of Conference series are presently dedicated exclusively to biopreservation and about 2,070 articles are being published on Tissue Science & Engineering.
A biobank is a type of Biorepository that stores biological samples (usually human) for use in research. Since the late 1990s biobanks have become an important resource in medical research, supporting many types of contemporary research like genomics and personalized medicine. Biobanks give researchers access to data representing larger numbers of people than could be analyzed previously. Furthermore, samples in biobanks and the data derived from those samples can often be used by multiple researchers for multiple purposes Many diseases are associated with single-nucleotide polymorphisms, and using genome-wide association studies to study such biomarkers is often a goal of biobank research. Large collections of samples representing tens or hundreds of thousands of individuals are necessary to conduct these kinds of studies, so researchers may perform such studies only with large numbers of samples. Many researchers struggled to acquire sufficient samples prior to the advent of biobanks. Biobanks have provoked questions on research ethics and medical ethics, and have provoked widespread discussion. While viewpoints on what constitutes appropriate biobank ethics diverge, consensus has been reached that operating biobanks without establishing carefully considered governing principles and policies could be detrimental to communities that participate in biobank programs.
OMICS International Organizes 1000+ Global Events. Every Year across USA, Europe & Asia with support from 1000 more scientific societies and Publishes 700+ Open Accesswhich contains over 100000 eminent personalities, reputed scientists as editorial board and organizing committee members. The Conference series website will provide you list and details about the conference organize worldwide.
Scope & Importance
Biobanks collect, process, store, and distribute biospecimens and related data to research organizations. In the present, Biobanks take the major role in conducting medical research and also aided various researchers in studying variety of different diseases. Researchers use human biological samples to look for new ways to treat and cure diseases which travels through parents (Heredity) like Diabetes and Cancer. Biobanks using these collected biospecimens to identify Biomarkers. These Biomarkers can also be used to improve knowledge of the cause and progression of diseases, so we can diagnose and prevent them using personalized medicine. Europe is the largest biorepositories market due to the huge demand from Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Germany and several other countries. The global market of biobanks in Europe was USD 142.million in 2011 and it is forecasted that this market will reach USD 216.3 million in 2018 with compound annual growth rate of 54% from 2011-2018.
