Mono: A biobank that supports a specific research project, may have few staff members, a small-scale accrual scope with little to no initial intention of releasing or distributing biospecimens to secondary parties
Oligo: A biobank that supports several research groups or clinical trials, may or may not be designed to release biospecimens outside their collaborative group
Poly: A biobank that has generally a larger accrual scope, resources, and multiple users outside the biobank proper

Objective: The purpose of this study is to use advanced thoracic imaging to identify abnormal areas in the lungs of patients with Post-COVID Syndrome (PCS) and perform single cell and bulk sequencing of bronchial epithelial cells from these regions to identify biomarkers of PCS and targets for therapeutic discoveries. Biobanked samples will be used for future research on PCS.
