Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE AND FACILITATE RESEARCH OF THE PATHOGENESIS, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF LYME DISEASE AND OTHER TICK-BORNE INFECTIONS.
The Lyme Disease Biobank, sponsored by Bay Area Lyme Foundation, is working to obtain and characterize critical blood, urine and tissue samples for researchers. By collecting blood and urine from untreated patients with early-stage Lyme disease and patients with chronic disease as well as tissue samples from late-stage Lyme patients, this important program will help dramatically improve research efforts to accelerate medical breakthroughs in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections. The Lyme Disease Biobank is a collection of more than 850 human biological samples that facilitates research of Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections. Currently, there are more than 45 active research projects relying on Biobank samples. These projects are helping to pave the way for new diagnostics and therapeutics, as well as making strides to improve our understanding of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases and co-infections. The Lyme Disease Biobank is working with collection sites throughout the country including Massachusetts General Hospital and Marshfield Clinic Research Institute, and others to collect blood and urine samples. Additionally, Lyme Disease Biobank collaborates with the National Disease Research Interchange (NDRI) for the collection of surgical and post-mortem tissue samples, and partners with MyLymeData.org, a project of LymeDisease.org, to pair samples with clinical information that can further enhance research. In 2019, Lyme Disease Biobank received tissue samples from deceased Lyme patients. These samples will be available to researchers in 2020.
