How You Can Help
BECOME A “HEALTHY CONTROL”
You can help PANS research by sharing information on how healthy children and young adults can participate and make a significant difference to others.
Stanford is currently seeking healthy children and young adults (ages 4-25) to help research the link between infections, immune activation, and the brain. Samples will be drawn at Stanford. Compensation and service hours are available. Please join us in helping the PANS program at Stanford’s Immune Behavioral Health Clinic find a cure. For more information on serving as a healthy control, please visit https://stan.md/3Qghvu3
