These future studies may involve evaluation of experimental medications, vaccines, and vaccine strategies to prevent malaria.

Researchers in the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy volunteers to participate in a study investigating how our brain responds to pain. This study will allow researchers to collect information that may be used to learn more about pain disorders and how we respond to painful experiences.

Genetic testing sometimes tells a person or family unexpected results. These genetic test results are unrelated to the initial reason why the testing was done. These kinds of results are called "secondary results" or "secondary findings." If you or a member of your family have been given a secondary result please consider partnering with us on this research.
