ISoOR Gains ILAC Stakeholder Status: Advancing Global Standards in Organoid Biobanking

Abstract

The International Society of Organoid Research  (ISoOR) has strengthened its role in shaping global  standards for organoid biobanking. On September 12,  2025, ISoOR was formally accepted as a Stakeholder  member of the International Laboratory Accreditation  Cooperation (ILAC), the world’s leading authority on  laboratory and inspection-body accreditation.  Achieved just six months after the launch of the  ISoOR-ISOB International Standard for Organoid  Biobanking at the society’s March 2025 congress in  Shanghai, this membership provides ISoOR with a  platform to contribute to international accreditation  discussions, align its standards with globally  recognized frameworks, and support the long-term  goal of establishing organoid biobanking as a  robust, reproducible, and trusted platform for  clinical and commercial applications.
