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

The Indiana Biobank is a research study started in 2010 by Indiana University School of Medicine and IU Health. The Indiana Biobank is like a giant library—but instead of books, it holds over 60,000 blood and other samples. Each sample is connected to the person’s medical records. The person’s name and personal details are removed before researchers can use the samples. These samples help doctors and scientists discover better ways to treat and prevent diseases!When you donate a small blood sample, you’re helping researchers learn more about how to keep people healthy. Your sample is unique, and it can help make sure future treatments work for everyone.Watch this video to learn more:

Why is this study being done?Researchers at Purdue University are doing a study to learn more about how iron levels affect women's qualify of life and cognitive function during perimenopause.  Potential findings from this study may help us to better understand how nutrition affects perimenopausal women. This may then help policy makers set better recommendations for perimenopausal women. Who can take part?Females, who are experiencing natural perimenopause.Must be able to attend multiple study visits at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN.

Researchers at Purdue University are studying why some people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be more likely to lose their balance or fall.People with CKD can sometimes have changes in their bones, blood vessels, or brain that may affect strength, balance, or walking. We want to learn more about what causes these changes and how to reduce the risk of falling.By joining this study, you can help us learn what affects balance and strength in people with CKD and how to lower the risk of falling.
