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.

CanPath is Canada’s largest population health cohort and a national platform for population-level health research.It is a unique Canadian platform allowing scientists to explore the complex factors that contribute to disease. It is a deeply characterized cohort of individuals who have provided broad consent and now include two per cent of all Canadians between 30 and 74 years of age. CanPath can save researchers time — sometimes up to a decade — associated with arranging and measuring their own population samples. Researchers around the world can readily integrate CanPath data into their own studies. The standardization and harmonization of data across CanPath’s regional cohorts has been facilitated by Maelstrom Research.
