Overview

Expert review highlights strategic frameworks and harmonization challenges in translational biobanking, indicating critical needs for standardized global research networks.

Key Points

To outline the operational, procedural, and ethical challenges biobanks encounter and evaluate strategies to support multicenter translational cancer research.
Synthesized consensus recommendations and strategic frameworks formulated by the Marble Arch International Working Group on Biobanking for Biomedical Research across five continents.
Evaluated critical biobanking operational factors, including sample collection infrastructure, standardization of handling procedures, sustainability, and ethical, legal, and social frameworks.
Identified limited researcher access to well-annotated, high-quality biospecimens as the primary bottleneck limiting translational healthcare discoveries.
Demonstrated that biobanks must transition from static repositories into dynamic, harmonized networks capable of adapting to emerging technologies, stringent quality standards, and evolving governance demands.
