The research biobanking field is developing rapidly in Russia. Over the course of the last decade, numerous biobanks were created or formed from existing collections of human and environmental biospecimens. The Russian National Association of Biobanks and Biobanking Specialists (NASBIO) was established in December 2018, aiming to: (1) unite professionals and research centers to create and develop a network of biobanks in Russia; (2) provide services and expertise in the field of biobanking; (3) execute various research projects utilizing biobanks' infrastructure; and (4) facilitate integration of Russian biomedical research centers into global research activities. The organizational structure, aims, and plans of this newly formed national association are reviewed in this article. The founders of NASBIO hope that the association will promote further development of biobanks and their networking in Russia, which is critically important for the success of national biomedical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological research, and can facilitate international biobanking projects on a global scale.
俄罗斯的研究生物库领域发展迅速。在过去十年中，创建了许多生物库，或者从现有的人和环境生物样本库中组建了生物库。俄罗斯国家生物库协会（NASBIO）于 2018 年 12 月成立，旨在：（1）团结专业人员和研究中心，在俄罗斯建立生物库网络；（2）提供生物库领域的服务和专业知识；（3）利用生物库的基础设施执行各种研究项目；（4）促进俄罗斯生物医学研究中心融入全球研究活动。本文对这个新成立的国家协会的组织结构、目标和计划进行了综述。NASBIO 的创始人希望该协会能够促进俄罗斯生物库及其网络的进一步发展，这对于国家生物医学、制药和生物技术研究的成功至关重要，并能够在全球范围内促进国际生物库项目。
