Biospecimen Science
Biospecimen science is the study and management of biological samples, such as blood, tissue, and other bodily fluids, used for research and clinical purposes. These samples are crucial for understanding diseases, developing new treatments, and advancing personalized medicine. Proper collection, storage, and analysis of biospecimens ensure the reliability of research findings.
Researchers in biospecimen science focus on ethical considerations, quality control, and standardization of procedures. They work with institutions and biobanks to maintain a diverse and well-characterized collection of samples. This field supports various areas, including genomics, oncology, and pharmacology, enhancing our knowledge of health and disease.
