Study Summary
BRI’s Pulmonary Diseases Biorepository is a confidential list of people with pulmonary diseases who are willing to donate a blood sample and provide health information for scientific research.
Pulmonary diseases are a group of conditions that affect the lungs. BRI scientists study pulmonary diseases that happen when there is too much inflammation in the lungs including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and interstitial lung disease. These conditions make it difficult to breathe. ARDS is a serious complication of COVID-19, while interstitial lung disease can develop in people with severe cases of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma.
Our scientists study donated samples to better understand how and why pulmonary diseases happen and to find better treatments and prevention. All of the information gathered is kept confidential, and samples and health information are coded with numbers, not names.
