Oral Microbial and Immunological Characterization of Patients with Immune Dysfunction
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is being studied at the NIH Clinical Center. Researchers want to learn how a person's immune system affects the health of the mouth. If you have gum disease and want to learn how you can participate contact us.
A Biorepository of Multiple Allergic Diseases (MADREP) With Longitudinal Follow-Up

Recruitment and Apheresis Collection of Peripheral Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells, Mononuclear Cells and Granulocytes
Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are investigating new techniques needed to develop gene therapy or other treatment for certain inherited immune system diseases. If you have an inherited disease that is affecting your blood or bone marrow cell that generate blood cells, you may be eligible to participate in this research study. Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical examination and blood and urine tests.

Doctors want to learn more about the disease and are looking for what causes it, how it progresses over time, and the genetic factors that might make a person more likely to develop it. This study is open to any individual, 10 years of age or older, who meets the American College of Rheumatology's criteria for having lupus, which include symptoms and abnormal blood tests.
Impact of Elastin Mediated Vascular Stiffness on End Organs
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) seeks healthy volunteers for a study about blood vessel stiffness. In this study, healthy volunteers will be compared with patients with rare genetic conditions that affect the blood vessels. All study-related procedures are provided at no cost and compensation is provided.
Clinical and Scientific Assessment of Pain and Painful Disorders
Researchers in the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy volunteers to participate in a study investigating how our brain responds to pain. This study will allow researchers to collect information that may be used to learn more about pain disorders and how we respond to painful experiences.
