    Trends and Challenges in Biobanking
    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.

    The European General Data Protection Regulation: challenges and considerations for iPSC researchers and biobanks
    Morrison, M ; Bell, J ; George, C ; Harmon, S ; Munsie, M ; Kaye, J (FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2017-09)
    Increasingly, human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and their associated genetic and clinical information are being used in a wide range of applications, with large biobanks being established to support and increase their scientific use. The new European General Data Protection Regulations, which comes into effect in 2018, will have implications for biobanks that generate, store and allow research access to iPSC. This paper describes some of the challenges that iPSC biobanks face and suggests some points for the development of appropriate governance structures to address these new requirements. These suggestions also have implications for iPSC research in general.
