Biobank for Translational Medicine: Standard Operating Procedures for Optimal Sample Management

Biobanks are key research infrastructures aimed at the collection, storage, processing, and sharing of high-quality human biological samples associated data for research, diagnosis, personalized medicine. The Biobank Translational Digital Medicine Unit European Institute Oncology (IEO) is a landmark in this field. collaborate with clinical divisions, internal external groups, industry, supporting patients' treatment scientific progress, including innovative diagnostics, biomarker discovery, trial design. Given central role biobanks modern biobanking standard operating procedures (SOPs) should be extremely precise. SOPs controls by certified specialists ensure highest quality implementation science-based, diagnostic, prognostic, therapeutic strategies. However, despite numerous efforts to standardize harmonize biobanks, these protocols, which follow strict set rules, controls, guidelines based on ethical legal principles, not easily accessible.
