Cineworld: The O2, London, SE10 0DX, UK

Biobanking 2014 will discuss the skills and efforts needed to set up and maintain the banking of Biospecimens used for basic research through clinical trials. How to set up efficient and effective collection, processing, storage, and tracking of biospecimens will be discussed. Bringing together biomedical and biopharmaceutical researchers, regulators, biorepository managers, and practitioners this event will investigate the best methods for effective storage of biospecimens in the 21st Century.

15:30 – 16:00 The Bio-PIN, advantages for Biobanks and Biobank networks

Dr J.J. Nietfeld, Associate Professor / Senior Scientist, University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands

A PIN code based on personal biological characteristics and unique for each participant of whom samples of body material and associated data are deposited in one or more biobanks, enables a new way of biobanking and international collaboration. Labelling such samples and data with this Bio-PIN allows registering and storing them anonymously, but keeping the possibility of 2-way communication between participants and the biobank(s), via a personal ‘biobank account’ on a secure website. Because of the anonymity privacy protection costs can be saved and differences between privacy laws of different countries do not impede international biobank networks.
