Do you want to learn more about the NEW FDA-Approved Lyme test?
What is the Lyme Biobank and how can it help me?
The latest episode of the LYME TIME PODCAST features Liz Horn, PhD, MBI, the Principal Investigator of Lyme Disease Biobank, a program of Bay Area Lyme Foundation. Liz serves as PI of Lyme Disease Biobank, a resource created to provide much-needed blood, urine, and tissue samples to researchers studying Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections. More than 1250 participants (representing early Lyme, later stages of Lyme, persistent Lyme, and controls) have been enrolled. Each participant’s sample donation can support up to 50 different research projects. Your tissue could make a difference!
This tissue bank is the primary source for all things scientifically researched on Lyme disease and associated diseases. You won’t believe all they are finding out about this “great imitator” illness. For example, Dr. Horn goes into detail about a new FDA-approved Lyme test where samples from the biobank were instrumental in the development of that test in a collaboration with UCLA. Your donations (both physical and financial) make all this possible.
Where are they finding co-infections in the body and how does each one penetrate the tissues? What are some of the biobank’s most meaningful projects so far? What is the science telling us about Lyme disease after death? Are there substantial findings on early-diagnosed and treated cases?
Find out the answers and much more on this episode of Lyme Time with Dr. Horn airing on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and at TheTickChicks.com.
