Institutional Biobank
Contact
Description
A collection of medical information (data) and samples of blood, urine or tissue is called a biorepository or biobank. The purpose of the Institutional Biobank is to collect and store data and samples, such as blood and saliva, from CHOP patients and their family members for future research. Our hope is that this large collection of data will be an important resource for CHOP researchers as they seek answers and strive to improve patient care.
Eligibility and criteria
What to expect

Subjects will provide a saliva sample, urine sample, and/or have blood drawn at a planned outpatient visit if no clinical labs are indicated. There are otherwise no specific visits associated with this study.
