Medical innovations: Biobank

When it comes to doing epidemiological studies, numbers matter. We find out about the UK's biobank - a project to collect information and samples from 500,000 volunteers, which should help scientists look for links between lifestyle and health.

It is wonderful if our allowing health records and our samples to be monitored can help our children to a better life. Congratulations on this web site, I feel much better informed on the project. Rob Ilsley.

I am currently developing an open-source biobank inventory system. This is very informative for me. I am glad this exists. Good job! I am, however, concerned about the number of men in suits in this video. I struggle to find any men in raincoats, or athletic wear. There seems to be many ties, as well as over-sized suit jackets. This video would benefit from fewer men in general I believe. Perhaps peacocks wearing evening gowns would galvainize the effectiveness of this endeavor. All the best, A concerned citizen.
