Software platform that allows researchers to easily collaborate on research and share reagents, antibodies, cell lines and more. It is designed to increase scientific collaboration across disciplines and geographical boundaries. Among the institutions now using the platform include Yale University, U of Pennsylvania, U of Chicago, Washington U, Cambridge University, University College London. The platform is licensed to select institutions. ResearchAccelerator.org allows researchers to form targeted, data driven collaborations. Researchers can search for data based on gene, disease and pathway, and they can post data which would otherwise be orphaned. The resulting collaborations, which are likely to be transdisciplinary, can greatly amplify impact and research productivity.

Sage Bionetworks, Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM), University of Pennsylvania (Penn), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and Takeda Pharmaceuticals Company Limited (TAKEDA) have launched a Public-Private Pre-Competitive Consortium, the CommonMind Consortium, to generate and analyze large-scale genomic data from human subjects with neuropsychiatric disease and to make this data and the associated analytical results broadly available to the public. This collaboration brings together disease area expertise, large scale and well curated brain sample collections, and data management and analysis expertise from the respective institutions. As many as 450 million people worldwide are believed to be living with a mental or behavioral disorder: schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are two of the top six leading causes of years lived with disability according to the World Health Organization. The burden on the individual as well as on society is significant with estimates for the health care costs for these individuals as high as four percent GNP. This highlights a grave need for new therapies to alleviate this suffering. Researchers from MSSM including Dr. Pamela Sklar, Dr. Joseph Buxbaum and Dr. Eric Schadt will join with Dr. Raquel Gur and Dr. Chang-Gyu Hahn from Penn to combine their extensive brain bank collections for the generation of whole genome scale RNA and DNA sequence data. Dr.Pamela Sklar, Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at MSSM commented this is an exciting opportunity for us to use the newest genomic methods to really expand our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of neuropsychiatric disease, while Dr Raquel Gur, Professor of Psychiatry from Penn observed this will be a great complement to some of the large-scale genetic analyses that have been carried out to date because it will give a more complete mechanistic picture. The CommonMind Consortium is committed to generating an open resource for the community and invites others with common goals to contact us at info (at) CommonMind.org.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented November 30, 2015. Extensive collection of biological specimens of various kinds that are mostly collected from the population around the Africa Centre in northern KwaZulu-Natal, but there are also specimens collected from populations in and around Durban and elsewhere in KwaZulu-Natal. The results of tests carried out on these specimens are generally stored in the main databases of the various studies involved, and are linkable back to the demographic and other data collected from the individuals concerned. The Biobank is curated by staff of the Africa Centre's Virology Laboratory in Durban, where all the specimens are currently stored, mostly in -80C freezers. A particular strength of its holdings are the dried blood spot (DBS), specimens five drops of blood on a filter-paper card, obtained via a finger-prick - of which there are now nearly 115,000. The following is a list of its holdings (May 2011): * 67,700 DBS specimens collected since late 2002 primarily for HIV prevalence estimation of the population covered by the Africa Centre Demographic Surveillance population. All have at least been tested for HIV, and just over 21% give a Positive result. Specimens are collected annually, so for some individuals we might have a sequence of 8-10 specimens covering 2002-2011. * 36,601 DBS specimens collected by the Vertical Transmission Study (VTS) between Sep 2001 and Dec 2006. This study focussed on mother-child pairs and investigated the vertical transmission of HIV from mother to child. DBS specimens were collected from both the mothers (at initial screening, and then from their children at Birth, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22 weeks, and 7, 8, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 months. * 6,585 DBS specimens collected as part of the KZN IMPACT study of PMTCT effectiveness in six districts of kwaZulu-Natal. The specimens were collected during 2004-2006 from infants aged 4-8 weeks when mothers brought them to clinics for immunisation. These DBS specimens are stored at room temperature, not in freezers. * 3,524 DBS specimens collected as part of the Kesho Bora study from Sep 2007 . They were collected from mothers at enrollment, and from the infants at delivery, 2 weeks, and at 4, 5, 7, 8 and 15 months. * 50,068 Plasma specimens * 28,775 breastmilk specimens * 11,277 breastmilk products (Pellets and lactoserum). These have all been extracted from the BM specimens in prev. item? * 11,188 RNA and DNA products extracted from DBS and plasma specimens from all our major studies. * 5,735 Serum specimens * 3,505 cell pellets * 1,778 whole blood specimens * 1,284 Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from the Kesho Bora study mothers (665) and their children (619) * 179 skin tissue specimens from the KST study (Kaposi's Sarcoma) * 176 foreskins
