CURRENTLY RECRUITING

PKU -

Two Research Opportunities to Help Improve PKU 
You can participate at home and be compensated for your time and effort. 


New Online Research: Cognitive and Emotional Health in PKU

Dr. Shawn Christ and colleagues at the University of Missouri are currently seeking participants for multiple new research projects aimed at developing better tools for assessing cognitive and psychological health outcomes in individuals with PKU. One such project involves the use of a customized cell phone-based app to assess in-the-moment symptoms of potential psychological distress. Another project is aimed at developing a new tool for better capturing day-to-day neurocognitive symptoms of elevated Phe. Both studies can be done remotely (no need to come in person), are open to adults (18 years & older) with phenylketonuria (PKU) from Canada or the U.S., and provide monetary compensation for participation. For more information or to volunteer to participate, please contact Tess Fogelberg (573-884-8109; CNLab@missouri.edu).

Participate in Registries

Why participate in registries?

For patients and patient advocacy organizations, a registry may increase understanding of natural hisoty of a disease, contribute to the development of treatmnet guidelines or faciliate research on treatments..
