= NIHR !BioResource

Tags: [[LCBRU Study Category]]

== Overview

The NIHR !BioResource project was created under the Government's [http://www.nihr.ac.uk/about/Pages/Strategy_for_UK_Life_Sciences.aspx Strategy for UK Life Sciences] published in December 2011.

The new capacity will help companies to recruit patients for stratified experimental medicine studies as well as providing the potential to study the molecular basis of disease, identify the most appropriate biomarkers for diagnosis and drug discovery, and to test the mechanism of action and effects of new drugs.

The LCBRU is inviting participants in existing studies to also register for the NIHR !BioResource.
