Become a Healthy Donor.

Healthy Blood Donation for Research
At the Centre for Personalised Immunology, we are investigating the causes of immune diseases.  These include autoimmune diseases such as lupus and
Sjögren’s syndrome, thyroiditis and type 1 diabetes, immune deficiency diseases such as common variable immune deficiency (CVID), and inflammatory diseases such as vasculitis and sarcoidosis.  Many of these individual diseases are rare, but collectively affect about 5% of the population.

Australians are familiar with the idea of donating blood to help people who need life-saving transfusions or regular blood products, but donating for medical research is less well known.  Donating blood for research helps us to advance medical knowledge about a wide range of immunerelated medical conditions and diseases. New and effective treatments for these conditions depend on medical research.

If you are interested in donating blood for medical Research, please complete the form below and someone from the Centre will contact you to arrange an appointment.
    Healthy Blood Donors Questionaire
    If you participate as a healthy blood donor, we will need to ask you a few questions about your health.  You might not be eligible for the healthy donation
    program if your medical history includes any of the following:
    *such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, seronegative arthritis, other autoimmune diseases (eg type 1 diabetes, thyroiditis), or vasculitis.
    **such as corticosteroids, immune-suppressants, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immune-modulating monoclonal antibody therapy.


    In addition, you might not be eligible if you have a first degree relative with confirmed systemic autoimmune disease or primary immune deficiency.  Please feel free to contact us for further information:
