Study Summary
BRI’s Rheumatic Disease Biorepository is a confidential list of people with rheumatic diseases who are willing to donate a blood sample and provide health information for scientific research. Rheumatic diseases are a group of conditions that affect the bones, joints, tendons, muscles and ligaments. BRI scientists study rheumatic diseases that affect the immune system including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and relapsing polychondritis.
Our scientists study donated samples to better understand the causes and long-term health effects of rheumatic diseases and to explore better treatment options. All of the information gathered is kept confidential, and samples and health information are coded with numbers, not names.
