Purpose:
The Korea Oral Biobank Network (KOBN) was established in 2021 as a branch of the Korea Biobank Network under the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide infrastructure for the collection, management, storage, and utilization of human bioresources from the oral cavity and associated clinical data for basic research and clinical studies.
Methods:
To address the need for the unification of the biobanking process, the KOBN organized the concept review for all the processes.
Results:
The KOBN established standard operating procedures for the collection, processing, and storage of oral samples.
Conclusions:
The importance of collecting high-quality bioresources to generate accurate and reproducible research results has always been emphasized. A standardized procedure is a basic prerequisite for implementing comprehensive quality management of biological resources and accurate data production.
