Welcome to the February edition of the ABNA Exchange. In this issue, we honour and pay tribute to the life of Dr. Eng Chon Boon, a much-respected colleague and a valuable member of our community.
This edition is filled with essential updates and engaging content that you won’t want to miss, including a fascinating article on the history of seed banking. You’ll find yourself questioning whether you're the right person to look after a collection of such importance 😉 In this month’s "5 Minutes with a Biobanker," we had the pleasure of interviewing Associate Professor Lisa Devereux, who has been—and continues to be—an integral part of ABNA. Be sure not to miss her insights and experiences. Additionally, we’ve included other articles of interest as well as our running segment, "Biobanking in the News". There's plenty to explore!
