Abstract

The Australian Partnership for Preparedness Research on InfectiouS disease Emergencies (APPRISE) has developed a virtual biobank to support infectious disease research in Australia. The virtual biobank (https://apprise.biogrid.org.au) integrates access to existing distributed infectious disease biospecimen collections comprising multiple specimen types, including plasma, serum, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Through the development of a common data model, multiple collections can be searched simultaneously via a secure web portal. The portal enhances the visibility and searchability of existing collections within their current governance and custodianship arrangements. The portal is easily scalable for integration of additional collections.

Keywords: Infectious disease; virtual biobank; biospecimens; collaboration; preparedness; COVID-19.
