Abstract

Abstract : One of the many challenges of translational medicine is working with research participants to donate biospecimens through an ethical informed consent framework. The increasingly complex ethical and regulatory differences across jurisdictions translates into limitations on use and potential value of biological specimens and their associated data in clinical research. We introduce a call to action for more uniform global standards for collection of biological specimen informed consent data to enable greater advancements in medical research.
