Organisation for economic co-operation and development defined biobank as a collection of biological material and the associated data and information stored in an organized system, for a population or a large subset of a population. Nowadays, a large-scale biobank is considered an essential resource for research to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of illnesses (such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, dementia and joint problems) and to promote health throughout society.
