The PURPOSE of the IAVIshare Biorepository is to act as a human biospecimen, preclinical biological material, and data repository for researchers and collaborators. Our MISSION is to store and distribute high quality, clinical trial human specimens and preclinical biological materials to investigators to advance scientific research through our robust specimen request and governance processes.

IAVI collaborates with a diverse array of international partners to develop safe, effective, and accessible vaccines and antibodies and to conduct clinical trials around the world. These efforts include the development of samples and data set from clinical trials of IAVI's and partners' tuberculosis and HIV vaccine candidates, which are made available through the IAVIshare Biorepository. In the future, the Biorepository will house samples and data from trials of other types of vaccine candidates.

Note that the IAVIshare Biorepository does not provide research funding. Data and specimen resources, however, are provided at no cost to the investigator beyond actual costs incurred for shipping/handling and in the case of special specimen processing requirements.
