The Penn Medicine BioBank (PMBB) is a medical academic biobank[1] located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn Medicine), founded in 2008.[2] The Penn Medicine BioBank integrates health-related data—including diagnosis codes, lab measurements, imaging data, and lifestyle factors—with genomic and biomarker information to facilitate research and translational science.[3][4] The PMBB has contributed to several studies on disease prevention, treatment efficacy, and public health research, and provides researchers with comprehensive health data and biospecimens.[5][6][7][8][9][excessive citations]

It has enrolled over 260,000 participants, with about 30% identifying as non-European ancestry.[3][10][11] Participants contribute an average of seven years of electronic health record data and consent to recontact for further studies.[3][12][13]
