Patient registries have been developed to identify individuals who would be interested in participating in research studies related to a specific disease or as a normal control, or in some cases to collect data that can be later studied to identify what might be causes of certain diseases, or what factors make them progress faster.
UNMC associated Registries are listed below. If you are a patient or family member interested in donating or participating in a registry contact the coordinator listed below.
