This is not your average neighborhood storage facility. 

The new biorepository at the University of Miami's Hussman Institute of Human Genomics is now up and running, and it contains DNA samples from human donors. The goal is to use these specimens from a diverse set of the population to study diseases and research new medicines. 

The lab will be able to process nearly 1,000 samples per day, and the facility overall will store up to 5 million specimens in total. 

According to Dr. Margaret Pericak-Vance, a geneticist and leading expert on Alzheimer's, "It's the next phase of medicine. As we move into precision medicine becoming a reality, these types of biospecimens that are stored here are going to become critical to critical care, critical to new discoveries in research. This is the future."
