Biospecimen Industry Collaboration: Pioneering Best Practices to Standardize, Accelerate, and Transform Clinical Research

About this session
Specimen Management is a critical, yet often overlooked function within clinical trials. The overwhelming majority of industry discussion currently focuses on quality data management practices and how build automated data pipelines, yet there is almost no corollary discussion of quality specimen management practices that would not only facilitate building those pipelines, but would also reduce queries (thus cost), increase quality and speed, and improve reproducibility of research, leading to higher confidence in the use of AI. The Biospecimen Industry Collaboration was formed by a dozen biopharma companies who recognize this key gap, and are building a best practices framework to enable the industry and its partners to standardize where possible, paving the way for the next-generation of tools and technology to transform clinical trials.
