Skin and gut sample study for healthy people
This study builds a detailed library of the microbes living on your skin and in your gut. It may help researchers better understand how these microbes relate to health and future diseases.

This study collects and stores biological samples (biospecimens) from people with skin conditions, people at risk, or healthy volunteers. It helps researchers better understand dermatologic diseases and support future skin research.
This study collects multiple types of samples (like blood, stool, saliva, and swabs) from healthy people. The goal is to optimize lab tests for future research, which may help doctors and scientists run more accurate immune-related measurements.
This study collects stool or other samples from healthy people to learn more about the helpful bacteria in our gut. It may help researchers understand how these bacteria affect health.
This study creates a storage bank of biological samples like blood, stool, and tissue. Researchers will use these samples to learn how the body interacts with the natural microbes that live in and on us, which may help improve treatments for many diseases.
This trial is studying how the way we handle human samples affects the quality of microbiota (gut bacteria) analysis. It's looking for healthy volunteers to donate samples so researchers can improve lab methods.
This study collects bowel-related samples from healthy people to help researchers test a “colon model” in the lab. You may be eligible if you live or work close by and you don’t have ongoing stomach/bowel conditions or recent major changes.
