DID YOU KNOW?... Colorectal cancer(CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. CRC is a serious health problem in the U.S., and African American/Black individuals are affected more than others.  What is this study about?This study will look at a nutrient called cysteine. We think that factors like a person’s diet and stress levels can affect how cysteine breaks down in the gut. We want to see how this can impact a person’s risk of CRC. To find out, we will study the foods people eat and their stress levels.Who can take part?Adults aged 45-75 who are considered to be at high risk of developing colorectal cancer (have a history of polyps), identify as Black/African-American or non-Hispanic White and have no food allergies, dietary restrictions, or therapeutic diets.

What is the purpose of this study?Chlamydia is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States and is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis, or “CT” for short. CT infects both men and women. The purpose of this study is to understand what causes some men to resist CT infection, spontaneously clear CT, and some to resist antibiotic cure so we can design a vaccine and lower CT rates in both men and women. We will compare samples that we collect from men who are being treated for Chlamydia to healthy samples to further study sexually-transmitted co-infections and the immune system.Who can take part?We are recruiting healthy adult males (ages 18 and older) to participate as controls. To be eligible, you must not have had chlamydia before.
