Biobanking: A Cornerstone of Biodigital Convergence
Authoritative peer reviewed proclamations:
Biobanking explained:
Biobanking involves the collection, processing, and storage of biological samples (such as bodily fluids or tissues) and related data for research purposes.
These samples are annotated and redistributed to improve our understanding of health and diseases. Biobanks provide a treasure trove of data for scientific research.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, biobanks played a crucial role as scientists urgently worked on developing effective vaccines and treatments.
The potential impact of biobanking includes:
Advancing global health research.
Speeding up progress toward achieving universal health coverage (a Sustainable Development Goal).
Supporting the discovery of new treatments for healthcare challenges.
Ethical considerations are essential in biobanking to ensure responsible use of samples and data. (Unethical ethics of a totalitarianism society)
With their central role in life sciences research and development, biobanks are a prime example of the convergence of the biological and digital worlds, as they not only collect, process, and preserve biological materials but also along with rich data on the source and properties of the specimen, epidemiological data as well as analytical results. The variety and volume of the data required for a large biobank is thus in the realm of “big data.”
Scientists are already able to mount microchips and sensors onto cockroaches and other insects to control their motion by remote control and DIY kits for building your own “roboroach” are already available online. According to IEC expert François Coallier, this is a good example of the convergence of two domains that traditionally are thought of as separate: biology and digital technology.
