Topics to be addressed: Biobanking definitions Need for biobanking software History of BTM-CCHMC Description of BTM CCHMC custom BTM supplements –Bulk uploads, ETLs –i2b2 feed (de-identified for cohort identification) Process to get started with BTM – Presentation Overview
What is biobanking? Storing biological (blood, urine, skin, etc.) samples (usually human) for clinical or research purposes –Usually in liquid nitrogen freezers -80 O /-194 O C –Samples will be viable for research for ?? Years First step in genomics/personalized medicine Biobanking Definitions
What is the purpose of biobanking? To allow researchers to examine DNA and attempt to determine how faults in DNA cause diseases. Once research programs can work out the cause of different diseases and conditions, they can use this knowledge to begin to develop treatments or cures that can improve or save the lives of those affected. Biobanking Definitions
Biobanking - CCHMC In BTM, CCHMC tracks ~ 40 biobank freezers with ~ 500,000 samples stored Biobanking Definitions - CCHMC
Biobanking Software Needs to: – Track samples (usually barcoded) & their locations in freezers –Capture data associated with samples Type, Volume, D/T collection, Test results –Connect samples to other samples –Associate samples to patients –Retain clinical data associated with patients –Connect patients to other individuals (family members) Need for biobanking software
BTM-CCHMC ~ 7 years ago CCHMC made the decision to outsource biobanking software versus build it in-house Software and support team were/are funded through Division of Pathology & Center for Autoimmune Genomics and Etiology (CAGE) History of BTM- CCHMC
Daedalus Software, Inc. (DSI) & Biomaterial Tracking & Management (BTM) Selected as CCHMC’s biobanking software solution –DSI retains the software code (Java-based) –CCHMC hosts both the application and underlying database (SQL) –CCHMC performs custom database development –CCHMC works closely with DSI to guide/influence future versions of BTM ~ 3 upgrades/year ~ 1 user group meeting/upgrade History of BTM- CCHMC
