The Fairbanks Institute for Healthy Communities is at the forefront of global efforts to unlock the mysteries of chronic diseases of aging.

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