Journal: Without biomedical research, medicine, as we know it, would be nothing more than a machine gun affair. In simpler words, biomedical research is the substratum that supports evidence-based medicine. Biomedical researchers study biological and pathological processes in order to prevent and treat disease effectively.

Biological materials for biomedical research include tissues, body fluids, cells, blood, and plant material. These biological materials are essential for research in the fields of biotechnology, medicine, and clinical studies. Consequently, the collection, handling, storage, and preservation of these biological materials are critical. Success in this area can only be made possible with the help of modern biobanking technology.
