About this study

The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is performing this research to accelerate diverse disease research using cells from the body (such as skin or blood cells) to make stem cells and other types of cells, conduct research on the samples, perform genetic testing, and store the samples for future use. Through this research, researchers hope to identify future treatments or even cures for the major diseases of our time.

  • Minors undergoing skin collection for research purposes must have a condition, disease, genetic background, or trait of interest and parental/guardian consent.
  • Minors undergoing blood, and/or saliva collection for research purposes may have a condition, disease, genetic background, or trait of interest or serve as a healthy control and must have an available parent/guardian to provide consent.
  • Minors transferring biological samples and associated data from a procedure outside of the research may have a condition, disease, genetic background, or trait of interest or serve as a healthy control and must have an available parent/guardian to provide consent.

Exclusion 4

  • Wards of the state.
  • For prospective skin samples: history of keloid formation, coagulation disorder, or allergy to the anesthetic.
  • For prospective blood samples: history of coagulation disorder.
  • For all prospective sample collections: 1) Subjects who refuse to adhere to NYSCF's and/or a collection site's safety protocol(s) will be excluded; 2) Subjects with an AIDS diagnosis and CD4 count of less than 200 cells per microliter (mcL) of blood will be excluded due to increased risk of infection.
