Abstract
ISBER and the Biobanking and Cohort Network (BCNet): A Strengthened Partnership.
Highlights
The Biobanking and Cohort Network (BCNet) was established by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2013, as an opportunity for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to work together in a coordinated manner to jointly address many of the challenges in biobanking infrastructure, the acquisition and maintenance of high-quality samples and data, and governance and regulatory frameworks to guide in the sharing and reuse of resources for research
BCNet facilitates the sharing of resources and the development of joint projects, strengthening the competitiveness of LMIC biobanks in applying for international funding
IARC’s Dr Maimuna Mendy has expertly coordinated the BCNet with the help of a steering committee team focused on education and training, ethics and legal issues, and informatics
