In the initial stages, these included reaching agreement on the terms of data access and the recruitment of suitable (ethically compatible) sample sets, the release of data using an appropriately secure and managed mechanism, and the establishment of a system for sustainable data sharing once the project had ended.
Studies in mouse have led to enormous progresses in our understanding of early human development, which are difficult to study directly due to the difficulty in obtaining suitable samples ethically and technically [ 1, 2].
They are suitable for exploring practically and ethically complex situations involving a variety of perspectives.
For the biomonitoring programs a system ensuring optimal use of samples is needed – it can be argued that it is not ethically justifiable to collect new samples if suitable samples exist in a biobank.
