About Us
As a collective, the goal of the Translational Research Hub BioDataBank is to build a biobank of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC)/BILH patient biospecimens & Omics data from our four Translational Research Hubs that are linked to clinical data for biomedical research directed towards advancing precision medicine.
Infrastructure Needs:
•Laboratory Management Software
•Hardware – computers etc.. Centrifuges and processing supplies
•Energy efficient freezers
•Sample collection materials
Existing Resources:
•BIDMC InSPIRE Program – Hubs to accelerate research translation
•Clinical Research Center – processing and procedural support
•Disease-Based Centers of Excellence - recruitment
Repository Access:
•BILH investigators and collaborators
•Prioritize Massachusetts-based
•Academic researchers
•Industry Partners
The prospective collection of biospecimens is linked with clinical data from patients with conditions to facilitate drug target discovery, development of biomarkers, clinical drug development and academic activities. We will diversify the targeted biobank populations by engaging and collaborating with Beth Israel Lahey Health (BILH)-associated community health centers.
