What this Trial Is About
Researchers are creating a network of hospitals, labs, academic institutions, and healthcare organizations to provide annotated biospecimens for various types of medical research and education. These biospecimens will be used for biomarker discovery, diagnostic test development, therapeutics research, and training of researchers and physicians. Participants may be healthy or have medical conditions relevant to ongoing research needs. The study involves collecting remnant specimens originally obtained for clinical testing or specimens collected specifically for research, including biofluids, tissues, and cells. Participants may be identified during clinical care or recruited through outreach programs. Biospecimens may be distributed to various research entities such as academic institutions and companies for diverse research uses, including genetic testing, cell line development, and long-term storage. Participants may undergo minimal risk screening activities and provide biospecimens as needed. The research team will collect data over a 10-year period to support novel research uses. Biospecimens may be used for multiple research and educational purposes, including training laboratory technicians and physicians. The study includes participants aged 1 to 89 years and involves assessment of health status through medical record reviews and clinical exams when blood collection is needed.
