Biobanks provide a critical infrastructure to support research in human health. Biospecimens and their accompanying data are increasingly needed to support biomedical research and clinical care. The original text was initially published in the Handbook for Cancer Research in Africa. The value of this publication is great as it underlines the importance of biobanks in Africa as a key resource to increase quality scientific research and participate in global health research. Therefore, a revision to extend these principles to other low resource contexts, to include updated material and references and add the topic of biobank sustainability were relevant.
生物样本库为支持人类健康研究提供了关键的基础设施。越来越需要生物样本及其相关数据来支持生物医学研究和临床护理。原文最初发表于《非洲癌症研究手册》。该出版物的价值重大，因为它强调了非洲生物样本库作为提高高质量科研水平和参与全球健康研究的关键资源的重要性。因此，进行修订以将这些原则扩展到其他资源匮乏的环境，纳入更新的材料和参考文献，并增加生物样本库可持续性的主题是很有必要的。
