    Kaye, J ; Bell, J ; Prictor, M ; Munsie, M ; Freckelton, I ; Petersen, K (Federation Press, 2017)
    The last twenty years have seen the emergence of the phenomena of biobanks, which are now regarded as essential research infrastructure in most countries around the world. However, the very nature of biobanks, as long-term repositories of sample and data that are used for many different research purposes continues to challenge many of the legal requirements for medical research, both in the UK and Australia. This chapter will provide an overview of biobanking and discuss some of the legal challenges that these activities raise by discussing and comparing the UK and Australian legal landscapes.
