Biobank Browser: a field guide to population cohorts

Field notes

Biobank Browser presents cohort selection as a structured comparison problem rather than a single ranking. The homepage reports 33 cohorts across six continents and 11 scored dimensions, with separate attention to proteomics, genetics, ancestry, disease focus, participant scale, and access timing. Its examples distinguish existing deep proteomics from larger but less mature multi-omics programs, and it points to timelines ranging from weeks to more than 12 months. The site identifies itself as v1.0 and cautions that its scores remain preliminary.
