PGP Harvard: December sample collections in San Diego and St. Louis
Dear Jeffrey Epstein,
We are emailing you to let you know about upcoming blood collection events in San Diego (December 16) and St. Louis (December 29) for the Harvard Personal Genome Project.
December blood collection events
Blood is the best sample for genome sequencing. If you attend this collection event we can't guarantee your sample will produce a genome sequence, but all blood samples collected at previous events have been sent to Complete Genomics for DNA purification and genome sequencing.
These events are for folks who don't already have a genome sequence or a sample in the sequencing pipeline — no need to attend if you gave blood previously. Still, you might forward this email or pass on information about this event to current or aspiring PGP participants who might like to participate!
PGP Harvard participants who have completed the PGP Participant Survey and all twelve trait surveys are invited to apply to donate blood.
San Diego collection: Tuesday, December 16th
The San Diego event is planned to be held at 10am - 2pm, December 16th. The location will be on the campus of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. This event will be managed by Madeleine Ball, PGP Harvard's Director of Research.
St Louis collection: Monday, December 29th
The St. Louis blood collection will take place at the Washington University Medical campus. Times are to be determined by demand, but likely will start at 11am and go until 2 or 3pm. This event will be managed by Preston Estep, PGP Director of Collections.
How to sign-up to donate blood in San Diego or St. Louis:
- Go to the Participant Surveys page and complete all surveys.
- ...and record yourself as "Interested".
Eligible participants who apply will be notified by the Harvard Personal Genome Project staff within 5 business days and we will provide instructions about how to make an appointment.
Many thanks,
Madeleine Ball, Director of Research
Preston Estep, Director of Collections
