The Korea Biobank Network’s Human Bioresource Sharing and Access Platform, established in 2019, aims to expand the accessibility of the disease-based bioresources collected through KBN and develop a system to collect high-quality standard clinical information, thereby establishing a distribution support system tailored to researchers.
The KBN portal is the largest shared open platform for disease-based resource owned by KBN biobanks involved in KDCA(Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency) KBP(Korea Biobank Project). It discloses and shares related information including disease-based resource status, systematic search, efficient distribution, and utilization outcomes to researchers in order to improve the efficient utilization of national disease-based resources.
Structure is organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare(Division of Bioethics Policy), the KDCA Korea National Institute of Health(Division of Biobank, Department of precision Medicine), KBN Biobanks.
Ministry of Health and Welfare (Division of Bioethics Policy)
▣ Overall management of National bioethics policy
▣ Korea Biobank Project related system support
KDCA KNIH (Division of Biobank, Department of precision Medicine)
▣ KBN management (National Biobank of Korea management)
▣ Collection, management, and distribution of large-scale population-based human bioresources
▣ Human bioresource management standardization and technology development
Human Bioresource Regional Banks
▣ Collection, management, and distribution of disease-based human bioresources
▣ Organiztion and operation of Korea Biobank Council
In 2021, Korea Biobank Project(KBP) Phase 4. The KBN reorganized as a pan-national system with the selection of new biobank partners.
The Phase 4 Project include initiative of collaborative subnetworks for specific disease-targeted future biobanking(n=10) and biobank innovation consortia for biomedical and healthcare research(n=2).

KBN Human bioresources application procedure for distribution.
KBN distributes the collected human bioresources to researchers for domestic healthcare R&D. For access to, researcher(s) residing in Korea and carrying out a research project that has obtained IRB approval(or exemption) can apply for access to human bioresource distribution, and if approved by the Access and Sharing Committee, the bioresources are released.
