Our participants don’t take part in clinical trials but provide lifestyle, health and genetic information that speeds medical research.
NIHR BioResource is a unique and powerful resource for studying disease mechanisms and for investigating the links between genes, the environment, health and disease; enabling scientific discoveries as well as facilitating translational medicine for the benefit of patients.
Our principal funding body is the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), the nation’s largest funder of health and care research.
