Data collection arrangements
The aim is to collect biological samples that will be of the widest utility to future biomedical research. IHKB will recruit willing patients attending the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHT).
Research programme
By collecting and storing biological samples and data, IHKB will enable: • Research related to specific disease or group of diseases, or could range more widely across biomedicine generally for yet unspecified research questions. • Research into the molecular mechanisms involved in disease development and its response or possible resistance to treatment. • The discovery and validation of new targets and biomarkers for detection, diagnosis and treatment stratification.
