    Indiana Biobank (IB)
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2011-04-08) Nguyen, Anne; Shekhar, Anantha; Flockhart, David
    The Indiana Biobank (IB) was established in July 2010 as a conduit in the new era of personalized medicine to serve the needs of the Indiana research communities and to make an impact on Hoosier health. The overall objective of the Indiana Biobank is to create a collection of high quality biospecimens that are well annotated and linked to the electronic health record, genomic and proteomic data, to provide to the research community to carry out translational research. The ability to successfully do research and translate to the clinical setting is greatly facilitated by the availability of an extensive biorepository of biological samples, with accompanying clinical and genomic data, procured from patients at IU Health, Wishard and other clinical venues throughout Indiana.

    Indiana Biobank and INresearch.org
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2012-04-13) Waymire, Joshua
    Indiana Biobank was established in July 2010 as a resource for all investigators throughout the state of Indiana. The biobank seeks to develop a statewide collection of bio specimens as a research tool to enhance translational research, to improve Hoosier health, and to promote personalized therapy. This large collection of samples is stored, catalogued, characterized and delivered to scientists to carry out translational research to improve the health of Hoosiers. INresearch.org is a secure, password-protected registry of Indiana resident volunteers who want to participate in health-related research. The goal of this registry is to match interested volunteers with researchers. The goal of INresearch.org is to improve health care by discovering new treatments and cures.
