BioRepository & BioBanking
Our biobank will host clinical biospecimens and genomes of people from many African ethnic groups underrepresented in ~omics research. We envision it will serve as the ultimate biospecimen resource center for researchers interested in undertaking a wide range of medical research, such as exploring how genetic factors contribute to disease outcomes or variable drug responses. Data generated from MyAfroDNA’s Biobank will lead to novel insights into health disparities and identification of novel targets that may lead to new therapies for diseases affecting other populations.
