Research at Allied Biomedical Research Institute in Miami looks at CIDP and the weakness and numbness it causes in the arms and legs. Apply online to register your interest.
CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy) damages the protective coating around nerves, so hands and feet can feel weak, numb or tingly and walking can get harder. Teams at Allied Biomedical Research Institute in Miami look at how nerve signals and grip strength change over time and at medicines that work differently from the ones already available.
Taking part usually means a first visit, follow-ups with simple strength and balance checks, and routine lab work. The team walks through every step first, and taking part is voluntary.

Frequently asked questions
Where is CIDP research done?
At Allied Biomedical Research Institute, 7100 SW 47th St in Miami.
What do strength and balance checks involve?
Short, simple tasks such as squeezing a grip meter, standing and walking a few steps, so the team can follow how nerves and muscles are working.
Can someone keep seeing their neurologist?
Yes. Regular care with a neurologist continues, and the Allied team can share updates when asked.
What happens after I apply?
The Allied team reviews the answers and calls to talk through the research and answer questions.
