SMi is proud to present its 5th annual BioBanking conference taking place on the 22nd - 23rd June 2015 at the Holiday Inn Regents Park Hotel in London, UK.

LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, March 6, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With the increasing amount of sample and information sharing between biobanks and research facilities, Biobanking 2015 comes at the perfect time to discuss key topics surrounding best practice in specimen and repository preservation, future integrity of sample collections and the confidentiality of research participants.

Building on this, SMi’s 5th annual BioBanking conference will ask questions such as: How will regulatory changes in EU data protection impact current procedures? What should Biobanks do after funding expires? What are the steps in building a successful biobanking network? When are incidental findings fed back to participants and how is the impact of this feedback measured?
