UCLA Perinatal Biospecimen Repository

This study is creating a collection of biological samples (like blood, urine, and placenta) and health information from pregnant individuals, new mothers, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to build a high-quality resource for researchers at UCLA to better understand pregnancy-related conditions and outcomes. You could be eligible if you are pregnant, recently gave birth, or are a healthy non-pregnant individual aged 18 or older. The study aims to collect information from about 1000 participants. This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information without giving any specific treatments.
