$6M ANONYMOUS GIFT CREATES CANADA'S FIRST NATIONAL MYELOMA BIOBANK
23 / October / 2026
The biobank will bring myeloma samples together in one place, using consistent methods to collect, store and analyze them. This will give researchers across Canada access to the high-quality samples they need to help advance treatment and care. With patient consent, blood, bone marrow and other biological samples will be collected and securely stored for approved research, with safeguards in place to protect patient privacy. By creating a unified national resource, the biobank will address a longstanding gap in Canada's research infrastructure and strengthen LHSC's role in myeloma research.
