Progress in treating common and rare diseases often hinges on access to human tissue. Donated tissues are often in short supply — especially those for specialized needs. NDRI coordinates several disease-specific donation programs to further specialized research into conditions such as Type 1 diabetes, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and HIV. Through these programs, we work with nationwide disease registries to identify potential donors, obtain consent/authorization for donation, and ensure that investigators have access to the human tissues and organs that are so critical to their research.
In addition to what is listed, NDRI registers donors for common and rare diseases. If you are interested in making a difference and donating to research, please visit our Become A Donor page.
