5) Innovative Technologies for Biobanking (oral only) 

Innovative Technologies for Biobanking -Disruptive innovations can be related to a diversity of technological developments and structural changes in Biobank operations.  This session will highlight ground-breaking innovations and best practice examples along the biobank’s value chain. We are calling for speakers who want to share the positive impact of their recent biobank project in 10-min pitches focused on new technologies employed within the Biobanking continuum.  Successful abstracts will be included in this session and the pool will be judged for a Presidents' Prize: “Global Biobank Innovation Award”
