Description

"Today, the UK Biobank ranks as the world's most important health database and is arguably the UK's most significant scientific asset." (The Guardian, Nov 2023)

For 15 years (and counting), half a million 40-69 year old volunteers have had their health tracked by UK Biobank. Researchers from around the world can then study the information, which includes genetic sequence data, heart, brain and bone scans, hospital and GP records, blood samples, questionnaires, and activity data.

UK Biobank is a vital scientific not-for-profit organisation, with over 30,000 registered researchers from academia and industry who have published more than 10,000 peer-reviewed papers. This is only the beginning for UK Biobank and we expect these numbers to grow considerably.
