Indiana Biobank and INresearch.org

Abstract

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.
