This is a quote from his blog (2018):
"We need to agree on relevant metrics and mechanisms of accountability. We need to scale and join up what is already in place and fill in where there are gaps – whether that is in laboratory systems, biobanking, data management, regulatory capabilities or ethical review systems."
What does he mean by "biobanking"?
