The Genetics of Eating Disorders study

The knowledge that researchers and clinicians have on the causes and prevalence of anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) is limited. Under the leadership of Drs. Archana Basu (HSPH), Benjamin Neale (ӳ��ý), and Mark Daly (ӳ��ý), our team at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health and the ӳ��ý of MIT and Harvard is recruiting participants for a study to learn about how eating disorders like AN and BN affect individuals across the United States and how these conditions are shaped by genetic factors.

This study has the potential to expand knowledge of the genetic risk factors underlying eating disorders using large-scale data and sample collection, so that future progress in research and therapeutics can be applicable to and better serve a diverse population.

The Genetics of Eating Disorders study has completed its current recruitment phase and is not actively recruiting participants at this time. Recruitment is expected to resume later this year. If you are interested in participating, we encourage you to follow us on social media (Facebook: , Instagram: ) for updates and announcements about the study.
