• About the clinical research studies that are currently available (Ageros, Leidos)
• Studies are handled by an experienced team of clinical coordinators who follow stringent protocols to ensure the safety of our donors and the integrity of our studies
• Donors will receive compensation for each study that they participate in
• Create the Biorepository for future studies
• How we can get involved in one or more of these clinical collections
• For more information on how you can take part, please contact us at (508) 384-0033 or email collections@mrndx.com
