Ensuring Your Biorepository Finances are In Order: Drilling Down on Operating Costs - a podcast by CAP

Most biorepositories have not traditionally paid attention to the financial aspects of their operations, which has led to problems in the long-term sustainability of some academic, government and commercial biobanking operations, explains Dr. Jim Vaught, editor-in-chief of the journal Biopreservation and Biobanking, in this CAPcast. Dr. Vaught has studied the challenges involved in the economics and sustainability over the past 10 years and has published several papers on these topics. In this CAPcast, Dr. Vaught will discuss why all biorepository directors need to understand the costs of setting up and operating their facilities and how to develop a business strategy.
