Resources for researchers
Samples are maintained in an institution-wide repository which is a growing resource available to researchers. They are linked to clinical data, curated phenotypes, genomic data, biomarker data, and survey data.
To date, more than 160,000 patients have consented to participate in the Mass General Brigham Biobank at hospitals and clinics across the Mass General Brigham system, including Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, Cooley Dickinson Hospital, Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary, Faulkner Hospital, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, McLean Hospital, North Shore Medical Center and Spaulding Rehabilitation Network.
The Biobank has distributed more than 260,000 samples to 600+ studies, resulting in the publication of more than 400 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals.
