ALT A framed page describing what the IBHO BioResource is. A three-partner research project aiming to investigate rare and common health conditions that affect Black people living in the UK.
ALT A framed page explaining why IBHO is needed. Medical research has previously resulted in an under-recruitment of Black people, therefore what is known about many diseases is based on white groups so may not be applicable to other people. Projects like IBHO are needed to address this.
