Recruiting PKU Studies

Recruiting PKU Studies

Thank you for your interest in learning about ongoing PKU studies!

To support PKU research, NPKUA helps to connect community members who are interested in participating in research with active PKU studies through the PKU Patient Registry. Featured studies need to undergo a rigorous approval process before sharing with the PKU community. If you would like to receive email notifications for recruiting studies, you can do so through the PKU Patient Registry. If you have any questions, please email registry@npkua.org.
