About this study
In plain language
CARBON is a UAB biobank, a collection of samples such as DNA, along with health and personal information gathered over time. It is for adults age 18 and older and will help researchers study many health topics in the future.
The UAB Cardiovascular Research Biobank (CARBON) will be a resource that contains biological materials, such as DNA samples, in addition to health and personal information on a large number of people over time. It will be set up so that it can be used in the future as a resource for researchers undertaking a wide range of medical research.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
