Thought this would also be of interest to our community:

Dear CSA of East TN,

My name is Andy Rogers, research assistant at a research facility located in Gray, TN, and we are currently recruiting patients with celiac disease for a small sample project we are facilitating locally. I came across your website and thought you would be the perfect resource for those dealing with celiac disease and finding outlets in the area.

Our study is very simple. We're looking for about 10 total patients (we've filled a few spots so far). Those who qualify can make an appointment to come in and donate a few tubes of blood (basically what you would do if you donated at a blood bank or the Red Cross) and our facility sends off the specimen (completely de-identified) to our partners in research. It's great for the celiac community and great for the patient as they are compensated for their donation. Here's the requirements:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Physicians Plasma Alliance (PPA), a leader in biologic specimen collection and distribution, is actively recruiting patients diagnosed with celiac disease. Patients interested in donating must meet the following requirements:

Must have a diagnosis of celiac disease

Must NOT be treated with steroids or biologics in the past 2 months

Must NOT be on any anti-inflammatory drug

Must NOT have any co-morbidities of lymphoma, GI cancer, or Crohn's

Must be between the ages of 18-70

Must have no medical history of hepatitis or HIV/AIDS

No medications or medical care will be given for this study. Compensation for time and donation is $75 (takes about 30 min).

Support local. Support research. Support your loved ones. Give PPA a call today at 423-477-3168 or opt-in to receive emails on upcoming studies by contacting arogers@pparesearch.com.
