Three organizations working together to change the field of Lyme
Researchers have a critical need for well-characterized tissue samples from people with Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections. The Lyme Disease Tissue Collection Program, a collaborative initiative of Lyme Disease Biobank (LDB), National Disease Research Interchange (NDRI), and MyLymeData Patient Registry is fueling the research engine for tick-borne disease.
These three organizations work together to collect, categorize, and investigate human tissue, supporting numerous scientists working to understand these complex infections.
Our Leadership Team
“This initiative is a pivotal resource for the Lyme community. I’m honored to collaborate with excellent partners as we transform our understanding of Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections. We are grateful to the patients and families who make this work possible.”
– Liz Horn, PhD, MBI
Lyme Disease Biobank
“NDRI is proud to partner with LDB for the tissue collection program. NDRI and LDB have a shared mission to advance scientific research and provide an opportunity for patients and their families living with Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections to create a legacy through tissue donation.”
– Melissa VonDran, PhD
NDRI
“Lyme disease lacks basic data that is available through patient registries, like MyLymeData, and through Lyme Disease Biobank. Putting the two together allows a remarkable depth of information to be combined. The community is very fortunate to have the Lyme Disease Biobank as a resource.”
– Lorraine Johnson, JD,
MyLymeData
