VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories (ISBER) is pleased to announce the release of the Chinese translation of the ISBER Best Practices: Recommendations for Repositories, Fifth Edition. This is the definitive best practices guide for biological and environmental repositories across the world. (Available for download at www.isber.org/bpr).

The ISBER Best Practices provide clear guidance to novices and experienced professionals on how to recognize and fulfill their responsibilities, while offering practical advice on how to manage and support all types of repositories. This document is intended to be of use to repositories operating worldwide within or for research sectors, as well as individuals or organizations that may be managing specimens outside the formal structure of a repository. The ISBER Best Practices can form a foundation for repositories, guiding a repository’s policies, practices, procedures, and operations.

This Chinese translation will make the Best Practices 5th Edition more accessible to professionals worldwide and is a testament to the dynamic worldwide growth of the biorepository field.

“The Best Practices 5th Edition was significantly revised in content and structure, based on ideas emanating from users’ feedback on the previous edition,” said Dr. Dayong Gao, President of ISBER. “The Chinese translation of the ISBER Best Practices is very valuable and especially helpful for the Chinese-speaking biobanking community for the management of biological and environmental specimen repositories, covering either evidence-based or consensus-based practices for collection, processing, long-term preservation, retrieval and distribution of the specimens and their information.”

“In China, the biobank industry has been expanding rapidly in recent years, driven by major players like the China National GeneBank (CNGB), the Biobank Branch of the China Medical Biotechnology Association (BBCMBA), and other leading provincial, hospital-based, and university-based biobanks,” said Jason Chen, ISBER Director-At-Large of the China region. “With the help of the precise and clear translation of the ISBER Best Practices, we hope our biobankers can continue to make significant contributions to the industry in the vibrant environment.”

“The release of the Best Practices in Chinese is a great opportunity to strengthen international cooperation in biospecimen science and contribute to the high-quality development of the international biomedical industry,” said Prof. Hengjun Gao, President of the BBCMBA.

ISBER would like to thank the dedicated Chinese colleagues for their involvement in the translation of this publication, with special acknowledgement of Xuexun Zhou.
