Download or read book Biological Resource Centers written by Scott Stern and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004-11-30 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological resource centers (BRCs) collect, certify, and distribute organisms for use in research and in the development of commercial products in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and biotechnology industries. They maintain a large and varied collection, including cell lines, micro-organisms, recombinant DNA material, biological media and reagents, and the information technology tools that allow researchers to access biological materials. BRCs have established themselves as a crucial element in the life science innovation infrastructure, from their early impact on virology, to their crucial role in addressing cross-culture contamination in the 1970s, to their current leadership in promoting a global biodiversity network. Today they confront new challenges, resulting from shifts in the nature of biological research, the interaction between public and private researchers, and the increasing focus on biosecurity. This book provides a systematic economic assessment of the impact of biological resource centers through their role in facilitating cumulative knowledge in the life sciences and building on their roles as knowledge hubs—institutions that facilitate the transfer of scientific and technical knowledge among members of a research community. The knowledge hubs framework offers insight into how to develop and evaluate policy proposals that impinge on the control and access of biological materials. Stern argues that science and innovation policy must be premised on a clear understanding of the role that knowledge hubs play and the policy mechanisms that encourage their sustained growth and effectiveness.

Download or read book International Network of Biological Resource Centres for Cancer Research Recommendations on Minimum Technical Standards written by Elodie Caboux and published by . This book was released on 2007-09-04 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological Resource Centres (BRCs) as defined by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are service providers and repositories of living cells as well as genomes of organisms of archived cells and tissues and of information relating to these materials (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and Directorate for Science 2001). Collection annotation and use of human biospecimens are essential activities of cancer research. These processes are becoming critical in allowing patient access to molecular-based diagnosis and prognosis. BRCs need to comply with strict ethical and technical requirements and may be subject to regulation and/or legislation at various levels (institutional local or national governmental international). The aim of this document is not to replace such regulations. It is limited to tissue collections not needed for diagnosis or transplantation. The present document focuses on developing recommandations towards common minimum technical standards in order to stimulate the creation development and networking of BRCs at the international level and through their use enhance and improve cancer research worldwide. Ethical legal and regulatory standards and recommandations will be addressed in a separate document with the objective of promoting common standards while taking into account cultural and social differences among countries and states.

Download or read book The Biological Resources of Model Organisms written by Robert L. Jarret and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses 14 model organisms and are used by thousands of researchers, teachers, and students each year in laboratories and classrooms, around the globe. Though acknowledged in innumerable scientific journal articles, little is generally known about the origin of these collections, how the organisms contained within them have been acquired, and how they are maintained and distributed. While some collections such as Drosophila have long histories others, such as the collection of Brachionus, are relatively new. They vary greatly in size. Yet, all have contributed and are continuing to contribute to global research efforts in many areas of scientific research as diverse as tissue regeneration, skin cancer, evolution, water purity, gene function, and hundreds of others. In addition to providing the raw materials for national and international research programs, these collections also provide educational tools used by colleges and high schools. The chapters in this book attempt to provide a brief look at the individual organisms, how they came to be accepted as model organisms, the history of the individual collections, examples of how the organisms have been and are being used in scientific research, and a description of the facilities and procedures used to maintain them. Features: • Provides an in-depth look at the collections of 14 model organisms that have enabled innumerable scientific breakthroughs over decades, and that continue to do so. • Includes detailed descriptions of the operating procedures used for the maintenance of each model organism collection. • Discusses the holdings of the collections of model organisms and its relevance to past, current and future scientific research. • Written by the leaders in the field of the management of model organisms.

Download or read book Sustainable Utilization and Conservation of Africa s Biological Resources and Environment written by Sylvester Chibueze Izah and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-17 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book highlights the potential and actual contributions of the sustainable management and utilization of indigenous biological resources and environment for the development of Africa. The book centers on documenting current trends and issues in the field of resource use and conservation with the view of emphasizing their benefits to the pursuit of development within the region. By documenting the array of natural resources and environment in Africa, this book addresses the topical knowledge and understanding gaps that characterize conservation (rationale for sustainable resource exploration), utilization patterns, and conservation challenges including policy status, environmental threats, impacts of tourism, reduction in food resources, etc., and their effects on the sustainable development of Africa. Through an integrated approach, the book focuses on below and above-ground biological resources and the diverse scales of environment that characterize Africa. This collection of works is very helpful for natural and social scientists, policymakers, strategists, researchers, government and non-government organizations, biodiversity and environmental managers, climate change scientists, practitioners, activists, conservationists, academics, ecologists, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and others who want to learn about and understand the best way to use and protect Africa's resources and heritage sustainably.
