International Health Cohorts Consortium (IHCC)

Linking cohorts, understanding biology, improving health

Working Together To Improve Global Health

The International Health Cohorts Consortium (IHCC) is a global community of cohorts working together to advance science and improve health for all. It is our mission to forge cohort connections that revolutionize population health science by providing sustainable data infrastructure, cultivating a collaborative research environment, and promoting policies and best practices that foster connectivity, interoperability, and reciprocity.

IHCC SPOTLIGHT

Taiwan Biobank (TWB)

The Taiwan Biobank is the oldest and arguably most comprehensive biobank in Taiwan. Established in 2012 at Academia Sinica, its goal is to accelerate scientific discovery by providing researchers access to resources for biomedical research. The TWB’s main resource is its population cohort, which is comprised of 200,000 participants recruited from different parts of Taiwan, with most participants being between the age of 30-70.
