The UAB Cardiovascular Research Biobank is creating a resource library of blood samples, genetic information, and health data from hundreds of people. Researchers will use this collection to study how genetics and biology contribute to heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity—especially in communities that have higher rates of these conditions.
Scientists have found that certain groups, particularly African Americans, have lower levels of natural proteins that help regulate blood sugar and heart health. By collecting genetic and blood samples, researchers hope to understand why some people are at higher risk for these diseases and develop better ways to detect, treat, and prevent them.

If you enroll, you will donate a blood sample that researchers will use to extract genetic and health information. Your sample will be stored in the biobank and may be used in multiple studies over time to help advance understanding of heart disease and related conditions. You'll likely have one visit to provide your sample, though the exact details may vary.
