生物样本库样本存储对于人口健康和流行病学研究至关重要。生物样本库连接了两个截然不同的世界：它们在个体层面上与参与者和患者建立联系，但它们也汇总信息并代表科学发现的前沿。在这份简短的报告中，我们描述了荷兰的生命线研究如何管理其通信和服务资源，以及它如何作为非洲人类遗传与健康倡议（H3Africa Initiative）的模型。
Biobank sample storage is critical in population health and epidemiology studies. Biobanks bridge two very different worlds: they connect to the participants and patients at an individual level, but they also aggregate information and represent the cutting edge of scientific discovery. In this brief report, we describe how the LifeLines study in the Netherlands manages its resources for communication and services, and how it can serve as a model for the Human Heredity and Health in Africa Initiative (H3Africa Initiative).
