Biobanking

Biobanking is a process in which samples of body fluid or tissues are collected for research use to improve health and disease. Other information’s, such as height, weight and any questions regarding health also be recorded to provide the context for the samples. Often the samples are kept for long time or for several years, depending on the study, so that long term future research can be carried out. The researchers may follow up the health of the participants by looking at their past and future medical records, but only if people have given them permission to do.
