To review the different interests and needs of industry and academic users of human biomaterials.
A review of the current literature and interviews with involved parties. Questionnaires were e-mailed to assess current attitudes towards biobanking and opinions of trends and implications for the future. The organisations included commercial biobanks, charitable foundations, academic biobanks, and hospital sites.
Biobanks have the potential to have a critical impact across several industrial sectors, and their future success will depend on satisfying the differing needs of each group. There is a growing need for greater collaboration between researchers and biobanks, and if the involvement of industry is not sought by biobanks to create conditions that support the effective use of resources, there is a risk that samples will not be collected or used to the best advantage.
It is evident that industry can play a vital role in the innovation process of biobanking, both in terms of the collecting and processing methods and the nature of the disease and sample types collected. With this feedback, biobanks can be utilised effectively to advance research to the benefits of all to the best advantage.
回顾人类生物材料的产业用户和学术用户的不同利益与需求。
对当前文献进行综述，并与相关各方进行访谈。通过电子邮件发送问卷，以评估当前对生物样本库的态度以及对未来趋势和影响的看法。所涉及的组织包括商业生物样本库、慈善基金会、学术生物样本库和医院机构。
生物样本库有可能对多个工业领域产生重大影响，其未来的成功将取决于满足每个群体的不同需求。研究人员与生物样本库之间越来越需要加强合作，如果生物样本库不寻求产业界的参与以创造支持资源有效利用的条件，就有可能无法收集样本或无法充分利用样本。
显然，产业界在生物样本库的创新过程中可以发挥至关重要的作用，无论是在采集和处理方法方面，还是在所收集疾病的性质和样本类型方面。有了这些反馈，生物样本库可以得到有效利用，从而将研究推进到使所有人都受益的最佳状态。
