 |
| The personalized
medicine is underway to practice the
tailored strategies for the risk prediction,
prediagnostic tracing, effective prevention
and treatment of diseases, which is
a new promise of post-genome era. The
tailored therapy is based on the knowledge
of a person's genetic makeup which is
different among races, tribes and individuals. |
|
|
| The BioBank for Health Sciences
preserves biological resources including cells,
sera, plasma, urine, tissues, DNA, lymphocytes,
peripheral blood as well as BAC clones of
human and microorganisms that have been collected
by various national projects such as the Korean
Health and Genome Study (KoHGES), the National
Survey of Health and Nutrition, and Genome
Research Centers for 12 disease groups. |
|
| These national projects are
aimed at collecting and exploiting the Korean
specific biological materials which are distributable
to the Korean scientific and medical societies,
as well as coping with global competition
in the personalized medicine era. |
|
| Additionally, BioBank performs
not only quality control (Q/C) processes of
these invaluable biological materials but
also several research projects to develop
disease-specific biomarkers and technical
advances of quality control. BioBank is also
running the serum bank to contribute for epidemiological
studies of infectious diseases, and prevention,
detection, and treatment of diseases. |
