The goal of this study is to develop new diagnostics and vaccines for viruses transmitted by ticks and mosquitoes, called Arboviruses. These infections circulate in tropical areas of the world including Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, parts of Central and South America, and parts of Africa. These viruses cause a wide spectrum of diseases. Common symptoms of these viruses include fever, rash, joint pain, muscle aches, and headache. Sometimes, people do not even realize that they have been infected. Currently, we are studying Zika and Dengue viruses among others. You do not have to have had a known infection to enroll in this study, the only requirement is travel to an area with these viruses.

At the UNC At the Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders, our mission is to better understand the causes and consequences of eating disorders in order to develop better treatment options. In pursuit of this mission, we conduct several research studies each year. To conduct these research studies, we need help from volunteers - individuals who want to help us better understand eating disorders. You can help by volunteering to join our research registry. Anyone can join our registry. We welcome volunteers with no history of an eating disorder, as well as volunteers with a current or past history of an eating disorder.

We are looking for patients with kidney disease and healthy controls (no kidney disease) to provide blood samples, fill out surveys, and provide health related information to help investigators learn more about how to better diagnose and treat kidney disease. The information you provide will go into a "library" of data for doctors and researchers across the world to use for research projects. If you are a kidney patient, we are able to use your information to find out if you are eligible for treatment studies/other studies in the future.
