About Us
iSpecimen was founded to address a critical challenge: how to connect life science researchers who need human biospecimens with the billions of specimens available in healthcare organizations worldwide. Our ground-breaking iSpecimen Marketplace solves this problem, reinventing the biospecimen procurement process to accelerate medical discovery.
Meeting a Critical Research Need
Researchers who require biospecimens
Of researchers report limiting research due to lack of access to and quantity of specimens
Of researchers report limiting research due to lack of specimen quality
Biospecimens Trapped in Healthcare Systems
Specimens banked in 800 U.S. biorepositories
Healthcare encounters yearly with patients in the U.S. willing to donate specimens to research
Clinical specimens collected and discarded yearly in the U.S. alone
Changing the Paradigm
Our revolutionary iSpecimen Marketplace allows life science researchers to search for the precise patients and biospecimens they need from our global network of healthcare organizations. Everyone benefits:
- Researchers access the specimens they need quickly, efficiently, and compliantly.
- Healthcare organizations tap into a new source of revenue.
- Patients have the satisfaction of helping advance medical research.
Rooted in Laboratory Medicine
iSpecimen was founded by pathologists who were constantly asked by scientists to manually search their clinical lab to find samples for research. Realizing there had to be a better way, they developed the technology and processes at the heart of the iSpecimen Marketplace. We continue to build on this foundation, creating value for all participants.
