Abstract

Following an introduction to some of the issues facing biobanks and their relationship to accessing various materials, an example of the work done by one recently visited biobank site is described. The types of material held in a sample of biobanks in different jurisdictions are discussed, along with proposals for further research in the area. The focus of this research has been on biobanks that have non-human biological resources rather than purely human biobanks. Intellectual property, material transfer agreements and accessibility are discussed.
