Welcome to this Europe Biobank Week Congress Radio special. It was recorded live at the Europe Biobank Week Congress that happened in Vienna, Austria from 14-17 May 2024.
The EBW Congress highlights cutting-edge biobanking innovations and research. Held over four days, it featured expert workshops, keynotes, over 85 oral and 140 poster presentations from across the biobanking community.
Keynotes are an opportunity to hear from leading experts in the field. This episode features the second keynote of the congress, delivered by Dr Gillian Bartlett, Associate Dean for Graduate Research Education, University of Missouri and Co-Director of the SOM Umbrella PhD Program.
About underrepresented populations
The title of Dr. Bartlett’s talk is ‘Biobanking with Underrepresented Populations: The Critical Role of Participant engagement’ and it was delivered to a packed plenary hall. Dr. Bartlett underscores the importance of including still underrepresented populations in medical research with examples from e.g., the All of Us research programme.
