LF is Collecting Saliva Samples in Boston!

If you are attending the Boston Lymphatic Symposium (BLS) and/or are in the Boston area, this is a unique opportunity to contribute to a resource that will support scientific research for years to come!  We encourage you to invite biologically-related family members to participate alongside you at this Biobank event! Every sample collected is a powerful step forward in advancing Lipedema research.

Biobanks collect, store, and share biological samples and data to support scientific research, and they are a foundational tool to advance medical discoveries. These samples will contribute to ongoing efforts to discover the cause(s), progression, and potential treatments for Lipedema.

Recruiting participants who are:

• Females with Lipedema

• Males with a confirmed Lipedema diagnosis

• Biologically-related family members attending with a Lipedema participant (parents, siblings, and/or children 18+ with or without Lipedema)

Notes: Participants do not have to be attending BLS to participate in Live Research. For this event, we are looking for participants who have never before submitted samples or data to the Lipedema Foundation Biobank.

Participants will contribute to research through:

• Saliva Collection

• Exam for Research Purposes

• Survey

For this event, we are looking for participants who have never before submitted samples or data to the Lipedema Foundation Biobank.
