The U.S.-China Workshop on Developing Common Standards for Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research
OBBR is co-sponsoring an international workshop, The U.S.-China Workshop on Developing Common Standards for Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research, with the National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR) that will be held in Tianjin, China on October 19th, 2011. The Workshop is designed to advance cancer research by raising awareness about the importance of developing and implementing common standards for biorepositories in the U.S. and China and of the need to initiate a process to identify and agree upon standards that can be implemented in both countries.
