European biobanks face fragmentation and funding issues. A new Biobanking and BioMolecular Resources Infrastructure (BBMRI) aims to consolidate these vital research resources across Europe and globally.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research infrastructure
  • Sample and data management

Background:

  • Biobanks are crucial for scientific investigation, holding millions of biological samples and associated data across Europe.
  • Current biobanking resources suffer from fragmentation, funding insecurity, and data incompleteness, hindering research potential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the preparatory work for establishing the Biobanking and BioMolecular Resources Infrastructure (BBMRI) across Europe.
  • To contextualize the BBMRI development within European and global research infrastructure initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing European biobanking landscape.
  • Analysis of challenges including fragmentation and funding.
  • Description of the BBMRI development strategy and roadmap implementation.

Main Results:

  • Identification of fragmentation, funding insecurity, and incompleteness as key challenges for European biobanks.
  • Proposal for a unified European Biobanking and BioMolecular Resources Infrastructure (BBMRI).
  • Integration of BBMRI within the European roadmap for research infrastructures.

Conclusions:

  • The development of BBMRI is essential to overcome current limitations in European biobanking.
  • BBMRI will enhance accessibility and security of biological samples and data for research.
  • The initiative aligns with European policy for research infrastructure development.
