CloudLIMS is pleased to host a complimentary live webinar titled “Biospecimen Quality For Precision Medicine” on September 25, 2018, at 1 PM EDT. The webinar will be presented by Dr. Jim Vaught, Editor-in-Chief of Biopreservation and Biobanking (BIO), the official journal of ISBER.

Each individual has a unique genetic makeup, physiology, medical history, and lifestyle. Precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine, is a new and promising approach to address an individual patient’s healthcare needs by taking into account a patient’s genetic and lifestyle variability. Precision medicine has the potential to revolutionize the way clinicians treat ailments and prescribe medicines, leading to a targeted and effective treatment for each patient. Biobanks provide high-quality, appropriately consented bio-specimens and associated metadata to clinicians which enable molecular characterization of the host and the disease, advancing translational research, thus driving the development of personalized medicine.

This 30-minute webinar emphasizes the significance of precision medicine, and the role of biobanks in making precision medicine a reality in the true sense. The webinar also highlights the importance of improving bio-specimen quality and the role of a biobanking LIMS in data management and in preserving bio-specimen quality, which is crucial for translational and clinical research.

Key Takeaways:

  • Requirements in research for precision medicine
  • Considerations when sourcing bio-specimens from biobanks
  • Importance and key elements of bio-specimen quality

Who Should Attend?

Recommended attendees include laboratory directors and managers, owners, and quality managers of biobanks and clinical research laboratories.
