About
Fay Betsou is a leading authority in biobanking science and biospecimen research, with a career dedicated to ensuring the quality and reproducibility of biological samples used in translational medicine. Her primary research areas include biospecimen pre-analytical variables, biobank quality management, and the development of standardized protocols for sample processing. Among her notable contributions is the pioneering work on automating buffy coat extraction from whole blood, as demonstrated in her 2012 study on the Tecan Freedom Evo200 pipetting robot. This research addressed a critical bottleneck in biobanking by replacing a lengthy manual process with a reproducible, validated automated method, thereby reducing variability and improving sample integrity. While her citation counts reflect the specialized nature of her field, her impact is profound within the biobanking community, where she has shaped international standards and best practices. Dr. Betsou has also been instrumental in advancing proficiency testing programs and educational initiatives for biobankers worldwide, solidifying her reputation as a key architect of modern biospecimen science.
