The Gutenberg Health Study (GHS) is a large cohort study with over 15,000 individuals that combines longitudinal deep phenotyping with liquid biobanking. Within the Gutenberg COVID-19 Study, 10,000 of these probands are invited for additional evaluation and bio sampling.
In order to expand this unique research tool and to allow for in-depth analyses across scales, ReALity supports expansion of the existing liquid biorepository by the establishment of a cryopreserved viable peripheral blood cell bank accessible for all Mainz life science researchers across disciplines. This expansion allows for in-depth and cell-based OMICS analyses and adds a new level on the already existing and ever-growing multi-level biodata present in this unique infrastructure.
