Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults 21 years and older who may participate by contributing biospecimens and health data through the All of Us program.
✕Less likely to help
Participants who choose not to contribute or who do not align with program criteria may not directly benefit from this specific activity.
What this research studies
This project continues and grows the All of Us Biobank, building on years of participant enrollment and biospecimen collection. It focuses on efficient, cost-effective biospecimen collection, processing, storage, and distribution using Mayo Clinic’s biorepositories. The goal is to support large-scale research by providing high-quality samples and data to researchers, with careful attention to consent, privacy, and quality control. Participants may contribute biospecimens and related data, enabling future studies that aim to tailor medical care to individuals.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could accelerate personalized medicine by providing researchers with reliable biospecimens and data to study how genes, environment, and lifestyle influence health.
How similar studies have gone: Previous All of Us activities have generated a large biospecimen repository and data resources used by many studies, demonstrating feasibility and value.
