New Zealand: Dysimmune Research - research organisation

I signed up for this study. There were a few slightly ambiguously worded questions but not in any way in a psychosomatic red flag sort of way, just ordinary screening questions not tested sufficiently on outsiders to check for potential ambiguities. Just a minor nuisance issue and easily resolved by asking the very responsive team for clarification.

As someone not living near a testing center I'm hoping they can get their planned home collection kits up and running. I think this is contingent on funding.

That's my biggest worry re this research, that insufficient funding will force them to reduce the scope of the study - cohort size, number and type of tests run, etc - to such a degree that any findings will be weak. I hope that won't be the case but crowdfunding this sort of thing isn't easy

I also made a small donation but if anyone reading this with much deeper pockets could reach into them, like reeeeal deep...

 

I've just emailed them and put my name forward.

 

Looks like a positive initiative.

I didn't reply their email due to other health problems that surfaced.
