Biobank of nasal samples from healthy volunteers
This trial collects nasal cell samples from healthy people to build a research biobank. It may help future studies on respiratory health.

This study creates a biorepository to collect and store samples (blood, nasal fluid, skin swabs) from people with allergies, asthma, sinus disorders, or immune dysregulation. It aims to better understand these conditions over time, which may help develop better treatments.
This study looks at the substances in nasal fluids from people with chronic rhinitis to better understand the condition and find new ways to diagnose it. You provide a free sample and answer some questions.
This study tests “new technologies” to identify what virus is causing a respiratory illness, using samples taken from inside your nose. It may help doctors get faster, more accurate answers about the cause of your symptoms.
This study collects sent-in samples to better understand how your immune system responds during a COVID-19–like illness and after you recover. It may help researchers learn why some people get sick and others stay uninfected, and how immune protection works over time.
This study looks at how the nose's immune system responds to common respiratory viruses in both healthy people and those with weakened immune systems. It aims to understand how long these responses last.
This study collects lung fluid and tissue (and sometimes nasal or breath samples) to store for future research. It aims to understand lung and airway biology, and you may help by donating samples during a short procedure.
