Abstract

Nowadays, various types and forms of clinical biobanks have been gradually established worldwide, which have become one of the important components and research platforms of life science and related disease researches in the medical system. This article mainly introduces the construction, management and operation of clinical biobanks, and discusses the medical ethics faced by it.
