Featured Studies

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a study on patients with Clonal Cytopenia of Uncertain Significance (CCUS). Patients with CCUS have low blood counts and a normal bone marrow exam but more advanced genetic testing shows the presence of a genetic mutation that is likely causing the low counts. The study will look at CCUS and try to determine its relationship to blood cancers and heart disease. The study will also try to discover other new organs or diseases it may be linked with.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are studying if low dose CT scans are as effective as regular CT scans to monitor your disease status. Very low-dose scanning uses about 1/30th the amount of radiation as a regular CT scan.

Investigators at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute are seeking healthy volunteers, 18-60 years old, who are interested in participating in a study to collect mobilized blood stem cells that will be used in the laboratory to develop new treatments for blood diseases.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and over time limits the ability of individuals to breathe. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are studying the infection, disease progression, and abnormal genes responsible for cystic fibrosis to better understand the disease process and its effects on breathing.

The National Institutes of Health seeks healthy volunteers to participate in a research study for the collection of blood components such as platelets and plasma. Doctors are studying new techniques needed to develop gene therapy and other treatments for certain inherited immune system diseases. All participants will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, blood and urine tests.

Join a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research study seeking mean men who have a genetic risk factor for developing prostate cancer. Researchers want to follow the prostate health of men who have specific genetic changes associated with prostate cancer to help them learn more about which men are at higher risk for prostate cancer.

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seek healthy volunteers (with or without a sickle cell trait) and patients with sickle cell for a research study. Sickle cell disease is a genetic blood disorder that occurs mainly in people of African descent. Study participants will have a one-time visit to the NIH to provide blood samples. Researchers hope this study will help us better understand sickle cell disease.
