BioStrat Consulting helps organizations design, establish, and optimize biobanks with sustainable, compliant, and future-ready strategies.
BioStrat Consulting is Metabio’s dedicated service for institutions seeking to create or transform biobanking environments into high-performing, future-ready infrastructures. At its core lies the Biobank development mechanism, a proprietary, structured methodology that integrates sustainability, compliance, and operational efficiency. It is designed to deliver high-performing biobanks that keep pace with scientific and regulatory advancements.
Through a comprehensive approach, BioStrat delivers tailored strategies across the entire biobank lifecycle. From infrastructure design and digital systems implementation to KPI definition and long-term strategic planning, our consulting service provides the tools and expertise needed for sustainable growth.
As proud members of the International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories (ISBER), Metabio brings best-in-class practices and global credibility to every engagement. More than a consultancy, BioStrat acts as a trusted partner, helping biobanks foster transparency, strengthen stakeholder trust, and create collaborative networks across the healthcare and research ecosystem.
A team of healthcare experts planned to create a rare disease biobank to support research and clinical collaborations.
Establishing the biobank was highly complex due to the need to align multiple processes, comply with international standards for biospecimen handling, and coordinate among diverse stakeholders.
BioStrat Consulting applied its Biobank Development Mechanism to design the full infrastructure. International standards were embedded from the start, and a roadmap for long-term scalability and sustainability was delivered.
Compliant Infrastructure: Fully aligned with international standards.
Operational Readiness: Biobank launched within 18 months, enabling patient recruitment and research support.
Strategic Growth: Clear roadmap for scaling to additional disease areas and cross-border collaborations.
A university cancer research center operated a 200,000-sample biobank but sought to attract pharmaceutical partnerships.
The biobank lacked standardized digital systems, KPI monitoring, and sustainability planning. Data governance was inconsistent, limiting trust from external partners.
BioStrat Consulting conducted a full workflow and infrastructure assessment. It implemented interoperable data systems, defined KPIs for efficiency and quality, and developed a sustainability strategy including cost-recovery models and partnership frameworks.
Improved Efficiency: Reduction in turnaround time for biosample requests.
Partnership Readiness: Infrastructure aligned with pharma compliance requirements.
Sustainability: Cost-recovery model enabled reinvestment and long-term viability.
