Biopreservation and Biobanking (BIO)

Biopreservation and Biobanking (BIO) is the first journal to provide a unifying forum for the peer-reviewed communication of recent advances in the emerging and evolving field of biospecimen procurement, processing, preservation and banking, distribution, and use. The Journal publishes a range of original research, review, and special feature articles focusing on current challenges and problems in biopreservation as well as advances in methods in the processing of macromolecules, cells, and tissues for research. Ideas and practical solutions are discussed relevant to improved quality, efficiency, and sustainability of biobanks/repositories, as well as their management, operation, and oversight. The journal also welcomes articles that explore the ethical, legal, and societal considerations surrounding biobanking and biorepository governance and operation. Finally, the Journal highlights the emerging markets and technologies that are influencing biobanks and their impact on society. The solutions presented here are anticipated to help drive innovation within the biobanking community.
