Biobanking

Introduction

Biobank is a depository for biomaterials for biomaterials from a representative portion of a representative portion of a human population.

a) The Biobank acts as a vault with intricate detailed information pertaining to the individuals from whom biological materials have been collected.

b) Data collection: Data collection and proper and proper cataloging are essential are essential components for the success components for the success of a Biobank [1-3].

Types

c) Epidemiological work– monitoring in susceptible populations after disease outbreak, poisoning and / or pollution.

Ethical /safety issues

For tissue banking, freely given informed patient consent is mandatory. Patient consent forms needs to be upgraded from time upgraded from time -to -time following IRB regulations.

a) Model Consent Form

b) Confidentiality

c) Quality assurance checks necessary for right from planning, implementation, up to documentation and analysis.

d) Safety is crucial:

Conclusion

India has a population India has a population of over a billion and is of over a billion and is the world the world’s largest s largest democracy. India has a very high burden of communicable and communicable and non -communicable communicable diseases. India has the means to make a modest start towards establishing a Biobank.
