NIDDK Biosample Repository

“NIDDK进行和支持许多关于内科疾病和相关专科领域的临床研究。NIDDK资助的许多大型临床研究都会收集受试者的生物样本进行分析和未来研究。将来自许多不同研究的这些患者和对照样本收集在一个存储库中是一种宝贵的资源，研究人员可以利用它快速验证临床假设和临床决策算法。该系列还推动了与NIDDK使命相关的疾病的免疫学、标志物和治疗方法的发展。该项目在本文中将被称为“生物样品储存库”，它延续了2003年开始的重要收集工作，在概念上与NIH其他研究所现有的储存库有关。

"The NIDDK conducts and supports much of the clinical research on the diseases of internal medicine and related subspecialty fields. Many of the large clinical studies funded by the NIDDK collect biospecimens from subjects for analysis and future study. The collection of these patient and control samples from many different studies in a single repository is a valuable resource with which researchers can rapidly validate clinical hypotheses and algorithms for clinical decision. The collection is also advancing the development of prognostics, markers, and therapeutics for diseases related to the mission of the NIDDK. This project, which will be referred to herein as “the Biosample Repository”, continues an important collection begun in 2003 and is conceptually related to repositories in existence at other institutes at the NIH.
