This study, called a bio-banking registry, is collecting blood samples and health information from people with advanced lung diseases or those who have had a lung transplant. The goal is to better understand these conditions and improve care, especially by identifying biomarkers (signs in the body that can indicate disease or how it will progress). Researchers hope to learn more about how viruses and infections affect lung transplant patients. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, have had a lung transplant at Baylor University Medical Center in the last 10 years, and can understand and sign the consent form. The study aims to enroll 100 participants. Success will be measured by the diagnosis of patients with lung transplant over a 5-year period.
