Statistics Canada Biobank
Also known as Biobanque de l'Enquête canadienne de mesures de santé · Biobanque du Statistique Canada · Canadian Health Measures Survey Biobank
The purpose of the Biobank is to accelerate future research projects and build health monitoring opportunities on a nationally-representative sample of Canadians. The Biobank receives samples from surveys like CHMS or CCAHS that collect dried blood spot, blood, urine, and saliva samples from consenting participants. These samples are stored in a secure location for future health studies. To obtain approval for the use of these samples, research projects undergo a thorough scientific, ethical, and security review process.
