-Various biobanking work, including the receipt, processing, storage, and distribution of biological specimens for research.-Researched new advances in the biobanking industry and wrote a thorough peer-review paper.Indoc Research evolved from the Ontario Cancer Biomarker Network (OCBN), which was established in 2005 with support from the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research and the Ministry of Research and Innovation. OCBN was given a mandate to support cancer researchers in their search for proteomic and genomic biomarkers, but over time its operations grew to manage data from many other diseases, as well as additional technologies, such as imaging. All of this required significant expansion not just of OCBN’s mandate, but of its informatics and data management capabilities. Partnerships played a key role in this expansion, and the Indoc Consortium was created in 2011 to manage these relationships. OCBN was rebranded in 2014 to Indoc Research, whose name also reflects both the evolution of the organization and the importance of Indoc Consortium partnerships to its overall success. In 2016 Indoc began transitioning its molecular laboratory operations into a separate entity to better focus on its informatics operations.
