poster abstractThe 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
