Decentralized Biobanking Empowers Patients in Biospecimen Research

Decentralized biobanking (de-bi) leverages blockchain technology to empower patient engagement in biospecimen research. Dr. Marielle Gross' team demonstrates proof-of-concept for engaging patients, physicians, and scientists in a dynamic research community. This prototype is a first step for advancing paradigm-shifting de-bi technology that provides unprecedented transparency and suggests new standards for equity and inclusion in biobanking.
