COMBINEDBrain puts advocacy groups in the driver’s seat in the race to cure rare neurodevelopmental diseases. Patient advocacy foundations representing more than thirty rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders join forces as part of COMBINEDBrain to make it faster to do research on their disorders. The COMBINEDBrain Biorepository is one crucial part of a comprehensive approach to speed translational research for these severe conditions.
The development of new therapies is dependent upon identifying molecular pathways and testing compounds in cellular models of disease made from donated patient biosamples. These biological samples may include blood, skin biopsies, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, saliva or other tissues which are cataloged and stored at the Infinity Biologix (IBX) facility in New Jersey. The COMBINEDBrain Biorepository serves as a centralized location for researchers to easily access biosamples across multiple rare diseases simultaneously
