COVID-19 时代给全球生物样本库界带来了许多新的挑战。为了让生物样本库界更好地应对当前和未来的挑战，国际生物与环境样本库协会 (ISBER) 召开了 COVID-19 响应工作组，以确定生物样本库工具（支持良好实践的现有资源）的需求和差距，例如标准、最佳实践、业务等，并提出有利于社区的建议。为了实现这些目标，工作组提出了一系列问题来探索各个生物样本库的经验，重点是确定关键挑战和方法，包括所使用的工具。根据这些问题设计了一项调查，并由 ISBER 进行管理。本文总结了从调查回复中获得的汇总数据，说明了遇到的一些主要问题，并确定了调查受访者认为最有用的工具。本文特别重点讨论了 COVID-19 时代最初几个月发现的挑战。提供的建议是为了支持未来生物样本库的应急准备、总结经验教训，并提出解决方案来弥补已发现的差距。分析和完整的调查数据集还将为更大的工作组目标提供信息，以制定具体的工具建议。
The era of COVID-19 has brought about a number of novel challenges for the global biobanking community. To better position the biobanking community to cope with current and future challenges, the International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories (ISBER) COVID-19 Response Task Force was convened to identify needs and gaps in biobanking tools (existing resources that support good practice), for example, standards, best practices, business, etc. and to make recommendations to benefit the community. Toward these goals, the Task Force assembled a set of questions to explore individual biobanks' experiences, with emphasis on identification of key challenges and approaches, including tools employed. A survey was designed with the use of these questions and administered by ISBER. This article presents a summary of the aggregated data obtained from the survey responses, illustrating some of the major issues encountered and identifying which tools the survey respondents found most useful. In particular, this article focuses on the challenges identified during the early months of the COVID-19 era. Recommendations are provided to support biobank emergency preparedness for the future, address lessons learned, and propose solutions to bridge identified gaps. The analysis and the complete survey dataset will also inform the larger Task Force goal to develop specific tool recommendations.
