Indiana Biobank vs. AnalytiXIN

The Indiana Biobank and AnalytiXIN (also referred to as AnalytixIndiana) are closely connected but serve distinct purposes:

Indiana Biobank

• Manages participant recruitment and recall, sample collection, and sample management

• Maintains a dedicated instance of the research data portal for academic researchers and other collaborators

• Facilitates internal access to detailed biospecimen and clinical/genomic datasets for Indiana Biobank-approved projects

• Participant Viewer: Visualize and drill into individual-level data

AnalytiXIN

• An Indiana statewide consortium

• Provides industry and academic partners with limited, de-identified subsets of Indiana Biobank data and EHR data from other data contributors, such as IU Health

• Serves as a collaborative gateway for industry to work with researchers at Indiana universities

• Enables joint research opportunities, where full access may be granted through partnerships

This distinction ensures appropriate data governance and access control for both academic and commercial uses.
