Recent advances in genomics, proteomics, and biotechnology have provided unprecedented opportunities for translational research and personalized medicine. The data that can currently be gathered from human bio-specimens can be used to detect diseases and identify molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets. Thus, high-quality specimens annotated with relevant clinical information and collected with scrupulous attention to ethical, legal, and social concerns are integral to reliability of study results.
