Abstract
En 中文
BackgroundIn 2025; transformative and transnational plans to phase out animal testing and reduce reliance on animal use in research settings were introduced.MethodsSteps towards realising these plans can be addressed by using human tissues and metadata obtained from biobanks. Biobanks securely and ethically collect; process; store; manage and distribute human biological tissues donated by patients for biomedical research purposes.ResultsBiobanks have developed at pace over the last decade; expanding their repertoires to meet increasingly complex demands from researchers.ConclusionsThis article outlines how the power of biobanks can be leveraged to drive innovative animal-free biomedical research; including the patient perspective.
