UCL BioResource: your chance to be involved in medical research studies

Are you willing to give a small sample of blood? Do you want to be part of a pool of participants supporting studies in to a range of medical conditions? In the UK around 20 million people are said to be living with a chronic disease such as diabetes or heart disease.

Living with a chronic disease has a major impact on a person's quality of life and on their family.

The UCL BioResource has been set up to help in the fight against these and other major common and rare diseases.

• It is establishing a pool of thousands of local volunteers with and without health problems.
• Volunteers will be asked to donate a small blood or saliva sample
• Volunteers will also be asked to give consent to be contacted and invited to participate in future medical research studies (although there is no obligation to participate in any of these studies)
• Volunteers will be invited to participate in future research studies on the basis of data gathered from the sample and information they have supplied.

If you are interested in participating in clinical research studies, then please contact the recruitment team on 0203 447 5369 or e-mail us on UCLBioResource@ucl.ac.uk.
