Presenter: Shonali Paul, COO at CloudLIMS

Venue: ISBER 2017, Toronto Canada

Abstract: Biobanks play a pivotal role in biomedical research. To facilitate research for improving the health and welfare of individuals, communities and population, sharing of biospecimens along with health-related data among the collaborators is crucial. Biospecimens along with their associated clinical data offer an invaluable resource to researchers and clinicians trying to identify biological traits that can help them select personalized treatments for each patient. Hence, sharing of this data in a systematic and standardized way among the collaborating partners—including biobanks and biorepositories, pharma and biotech companies, and contract research organizations….
