Hear from researchers, participants and partners about their experience with the BioResource
"Our experience of working with the BioResource has been very positive. The team have been professional and friendly in their approach and attentive not only to the needs of the volunteers but also to our specific research requirements."
"I’m taking part in IBHO because I want to help improve treatments and care for Black communities in the UK. I’ve personally experienced how Black people face health inequalities and poorer outcomes—especially in maternity care—and I want to be part of the change."
"At present, research and clinical trials lack representation and engagement from South Asian communities so it’s important to get better insight and use the community networks to help tackle health inequalities."
