Session Information
Biobanking with children challenges us to recognize minors as participants in all respects. This session welcomes presentations that focus on the challenges of paediatric biobanking, but also on the strategies that are used to consider minors as empowered and engaged participants in a process that involves the biobanking extended community (parents, guardians, biobankers, researchers, etc.).
