One Blood Sample. One Visit. A Big Impact.The Indiana Biobank is a research program that began in 2010 through the Indiana University School of Medicine and IU Health. You can think of it like a huge library—only instead of storing books, it stores more than 60,000 blood and other medical samples.Each sample is linked to a person’s medical records, but names and personal details are removed before researchers ever see them. This protects privacy while still allowing doctors and scientists to learn from the information.This particular study is part of the Biobank’s special collections for Alzheimer’s research.. It focuses on gathering blood samples from three groups of people:Individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD),Individuals with cognitive impairment, andHealthy adults (known as “controls”)By studying these samples, scientists can make sure that Alzheimer’s-related blood tests give consistent, reliable results no matter which lab looks at them. This is an important step toward improving how we diagnose and understand Alzheimer’s disease.More information about the Indiana Biobank, as well as FAQs, can be found here:  https://iuhealth.org/find-medical-services/indiana-biobank
Engaging your Brain for Memory Function

Join Us and Take Part in Brain Activity Research at Indiana University!Your brain is always working—helping you think, remember, and make decisions. This study is looking at how different parts of the brain work together.We are also studying a safe, non-invasive method called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see how it may change brain activity. TMS uses magnetic pulses on the outside of the head—no surgery or implants are involved.TMS is an investigational research tool. This means it is still being studied and is not approved by the FDA. Your participation will help researchers learn more about how the brain works and how we can better understand thinking and memory.

Do you have aphasia? Or do you help care for someone who does?  Researchers want to learn how new AI-made videos could be used for speech practice at home.We are looking for:People who have been diagnosed with aphasiaFamily members and caregivers who help care for or support someone with aphasiaAI stands for artificial intelligence.  In this study, AI is used to create videos that show a person speaking. We want to hear what you think about these videos.Your feedback can help us understand how to make these tools useful, safe, and easy to trust.

Targeted Prevention of Postpartum-Related Breast Cancer

T
Tarah Ballinger, MD

Female
Phase 2
This phase II trial tests whether low-dose aspirin can affect markers of inflammation in postpartum (after childbirth) patients with benign breast disease planning to have a breast biopsy. Chronic inflammation may increase the risk of postpartum related breast cancer. Low-dose aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Giving low-dose aspirin may affect markers of inflammation in blood and tissue and may prevent postpartum related breast cancer. Interested in participating?
