First up this week, we continue our discussion of biobanks.

Today we find out what researchers do -- and what they don't do -- with the tissue collected and stored in biobanks.

Barbara Lewis is joined by Eric Meslin, director of the IU Center for Bioethics; Dr. David Flockhart, pharmacologist with the IU School of Medicine; and Dr. Paul Dexter, medical informatics expert with the Regenstreif Institute.
