Research Study

The Center for Genetic Medicine is conducting the Screening for Coronavirus Antibodies in Neighborhoods (SCAN) research study. The purpose of the SCAN Study is to find out how many people in specific areas have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 (also known as coronavirus or COVID-19) and developed antibodies to the virus. The SCAN Study will also help researchers learn if these antibodies protect people against re-infection.
