ORIGINS enables accelerated, cost-effective research that provides translation benefits to families faster.
Through its globally unique infrastructure, ORIGINS enables scientists to develop nested "sub-projects" within the cohort, which deliver innovative, accelerated, cost-effective research that improves the health and wellbeing of families now and for generations to come.
Unlike other WA cohort studies, ORIGINS captures detailed data across multiple timepoints, offering a more complete understanding of the early-life impacts on long-term health - enabling researchers to examine the complex interplay between biological, environmental, and social factors over time.
ORIGINS' 10,000 participants are generally representative of the WA population.
To date, the ORIGINS Biobank has over 450,000 biological samples collected from participants since conception, with the Databank housing over 30 million data points on the 10,000 strong cohort.
