Program of Work
Improve biobank standard operating procedures and sample preservation by:
- Conducting and publishing results on targeted sample preservation studies
- Identifying and filling gaps in best practices related to the management of genomic samples
Current Activities
- Performing a long-term experiment on fixed animal tissue preservation; testing common preservatives across wider range of taxa
- Currently testing Qiagen RNAlater, RNAlater surrogate, Qiagen AllProtect, ethanol, propylene glycol, DESS (DMSO/NaCl), and tissue lysis buffer
- Performing an experiment on stabilizers for RNA during shipment
- As part of SYNTHESYS+ Work Package 3, performing a landscape analysis of existing biobank standard operating procedures
- Serving on the EBP Scientific Subcommittee: Sample Collection and Processing.
Accomplishments
- Contributed to the ISBER, 2018, ISBER Best Practices - Recommendations for Biorepositories
- Reviewed the collection, processing, storage and transportation of animal and plant genetic resources for inclusion in ISO biobanking standard (ISO/AWI 20387).
