COVID-19 Research Initiative

Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research / CTSA resources

The Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, home to Columbia University’s Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program hub, has launched a rapid and forward-looking response to harness their resources and networks to accelerate translational COVID-19 research. They work in partnership with the Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC), New-York Presbyterian Hospital (NYP), New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI), and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS).

COVID-19 Biobank

CUIMC, in partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (NYP), has established a COVID-19 Biobank (COB) to create a centralized resource to collect, process, store, and disseminate biological specimens, biomarkers, and clinical and related data for Columbia University investigators and beyond. Patients and researchers can obtain more information at the Columbia University Biobank (CUB) website
