FAQs

Some of the most common faqs

No. Just as you do not get to decide who gets your blood when you donate at a blood drive, you cannot choose how your samples and information will be used in research.

Donated samples are used for broad research and future discoveries, not for discovering information for each patient. Researchers may publish articles about their findings but they will not identify the individuals whose samples were used.

Researchers will use the samples and information you donate. The biobank will not contact you when your samples or information are sent to researchers.

A committee of experts and patient advocates will review each request for a sample to make sure the proposed research is ethical, useful, and based on good science. After the project is approved, the biobank will give researchers samples and related health information.

There is no limit on how long samples and information can be stored and used. Samples can be kept and used in research until the donor asks to have them destroyed or the biobank closes. If the biobank closes, your samples may be destroyed or sent to another biobank.

You will receive the results from your medical tests (such as a biopsy or blood test). But, you will not receive the results from research done on your samples.

By participating with SONA Biosciences, either as a site or a donor, you become part of a global effort to advance healthcare. Join us in contributing to the future of medical research and therapy development.
