The Alaska Area Specimen Bank: a tribal–federal partnership to maintain and manage a resource for health research
Banked biospecimens from a defined population are a valuable resource that can be used to assess early markers for illness or to determine the prevalence of a disease to aid the development of intervention strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality.
