Abstract

For the past 15 years biobanks have been infrastructures that have permitted to ensure the quality of the biological resources used as well as guarantee the rights of stakeholders. Due to their medical and scientific expertise, they offer collections of human biological resources that meet with research project requirements. Because of their secure storage capacities, biobanks are front-line actors in collection management by enabling their development, ensuring their continued existence and their valorisation in relevant research projects. At the cross-roads of patient inclusion, sample and associated data collection and logistical facilities, biobanks have become a significant partner of translational research and personalised medicine, almost essential in the field of rare diseases research as a result of the difficulty of obtaining the samples.
