Predicting poor vaccine responders to Hepatitis B vaccination
Hepatitis B vaccines are indicated broadly for the prevention of hepatitis B infection, yet the vaccine is not uniformly effective in all individuals. We need ... -
Dentatorubral-Pallidoluysian Atrophy Natural History and Biomarkers Study (DRPLA NHBS)
This is a prospective, limited collection of retrospective information, longitudinal, multi-national, multi-center study, observational, confirmed DRPLA-mutation carrier and a volunteer control group. -
A Placebo-Controlled Efficacy in iNPH Shunting (PENS) Trial
This is a multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study of patients with suspected idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). Using FDA-approved technology, we propose a prospective randomized ... -
A computational approach to optimal deactivation of cochlear implant electrodes
The goal of the present study is to use computationally driven models of speech understanding in CI users to guide the search for which combination ... -
THE ROLE OF THE MICROBIOME IN MONOZYGOTIC TWINS WITH PSORIASIS AND PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS
We propose a longitudinal study of monozygotic twins discordant for psoriatic disease. Subjects will be characterized with detailed clinical questionnaires in addition to blood, fecal ... -

Our mission is to enable the use of human tissues with outcome data by basic and clinical investigators for research into the biology, causes, prevention ... -
The Role of Residual Hearing in Cochlear Implant Outcomes
Cochlear implants (CIs) have the potential to restore high frequency hearing electrically while maintaining residual low frequency hearing, allowing for simultaneous electric and acoustic listening ... -
Assessment of glutamate neurotransmission brain bioenergetics and neuroinflammation in major depressive disorder using TSPO PET and MRI
The overarching goal of this study is to develop PET/MR techniques for the diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Our central hypothesis is that ... -
Genetic Analysis of Hirschsprung Disease
Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a birth defect resulting from the absence of nerve (ganglion) cells in the gastrointestinal tract. Hirschsprung disease has a population incidence ... -
ADAPTATION TO FREQUENCY-PLACE FUNCTIONS IN COCHLEAR IMPLANT USERS
It is a basic study that will examine adaptation to frequency-place maps in cochlear implant users. The main outcome measures will be measures of speech ...
