Repository banks for biological samples are defined as oper ational units that provide a servicefor the storage and management of biological material and as sociated clinical data. These, ifproperly complemented with dietary assessment of food and n utrient intake, may offer uniqueopportunities to investigate the relationships between di et, nutritional status, lifestyle andenvironmental factors and the incidence of several disease s, as in the case of the EPIC studyheld within the framework of the European network of Biobank s BBMRI.
