12. Access to the right
sample and data at the
right time is the key
Research is built
around samples and
the associated data
Clear path needed to
value creation for both
the institution and the PI
Funding pressures
mandate solutions
be cost efficient
Consolidation of samples
and data connectivity
enables more affordable
advancement
of research
Technology can be
an enabler of
sample asset
optimization
Enabling collaborations
among researchers
accelerate discovery
The physical sample
matters and is the
key to unlocking
research
Must be archived in
ways that preserve their
value over time for follow
on, larger and newer
hypotheses
Clinical specimens
are often stored in PI
silos
Biosamples are Vital
to Advance Academic Research
