The Fairbanks Institute for Healthy Communities is helping researchers unlock the promise of personalized medicine.

The Fairbanks Institute for Healthy Communities is a not-for-profit organization working to improve community health by creating INbank™, a next generation biorepository for discovery and validation research. INbank™ connects information available in patient histories and clinical outcomes data with meticulously collected and broadly consented biological samples collected in longitudinal cohort studies of the Central Indiana population. INbank™ will enable research that can lead to more effective personalized medicines and better health for generations to come.

The Fairbanks Institute was created with seed funding gifts from the Richard M. Fairbanks and Guidant Foundations in collaboration with BioCrossroads, the Regenstrief Institute, the Indiana University School of Medicine and other Central Indiana community partners.
