Title: Depression & Inflammation
Post by: BioDep on September 29, 2015, 11:09:03 AM

Hi everyone!

I work for an NHS trust supporting ethically approved research studies. A study I'm supporting at the moment is looking at a possible link between depression and inflammation. We're looking for anyone aged between 25-50 who may wish to take part - Please see poster for more information about where we are recruiting. Contact me for any more information and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Thanks
Amber

Here's an article with some background information about why the study is so important:

Professor Ed Bullmore is leading this important research

I would have liked to have been part of the study but I'm 53 therefore too old.

I would have taken part too, except that I'm not generally healthy and I can't give blood   :(

Thanks for looking at the study Pip and Amanda, really sorry to hear that you guys are unable to take part. I'll be sure to let everyone on the forum know if any other studies may be of interest
