Have you been listed for kidney transplant at UNC? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study to help us learn how the process of waiting for a kidney transplant impacts you.
Have you been infected with COVID-19? Are you a solid organ transplant recipient? Have you or your child received a COVID-19 vaccine or are planning to receive one? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a research study that will assess your immune response to COVID-19 infection or vaccination over a 5 year period. We are looking for children and adults aged 7-95 years, and plan to collect blood every 2-6 months over the study period. (Compensation provided for the first year).
The purpose of this registry is to observe outcomes of heart transplant recipients who are managed with HeartCare. This is done by collecting information about your heart transplant such as test results, biopsy results, and outcomes, storing that information in a database, and using that information for research.
This study is an access and distribution protocol for unlicensed cryopreserved cord blood units (CBUs) in pediatric and adult patients with hematologic malignancies and other indications. This protocol will allow access to cord blood units that are unlicensed.
