In 2007 IMB has created cell cultures collection and bank of human DNA samples of diseased and healthy subjects. It is continuously replenished with new samples and used in further studies targeting the involvement of genetic component in disease development. Currently, sample bank contains DNA samples of the patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, diabetes type II, schizophrenia, post traumatic stress disorder and healthy subjects.

In 2012 the bank of local Vitis DNA samples has been created for the first time in Armenia. It's an ongoing activity and for now, about 600 DNA samples are preserved.
