Indigenous perspectives on biobanking, specimen storage, and data governance: A scoping review

Indigenous Peoples’ concerns about how researchers collect, store, and use biospecimens have limited their participation in biospecimen-based research. Researchers must improve biospecimen governance to address these concerns and advance ethical research and data practices. In this study, we seek to better understand Indigenous Peoples’ perspectives on biobanking and biospecimen storage in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
