Members enrolled in a study receive cash compensation for providing biospecimens for scientific analysis, such as blood testing, as well as for participating in research interviews.

Samples are processed in our Berkeley lab for advanced laboratory testing and analysis. They are not sold to third parties. Member data is governed by strict privacy protocols.

No. We ship a collection kit to your home with a prepaid return label. Depending on protocol, a mobile phlebotomist may visit you at home, or we provide self-collection options.

We're developing a program so that members whose data contributes to research outcomes can share in the revenue generated. More details to come.

This autoimmune study covers a broad range of conditions. Onyx also runs dedicated studies for rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. If you have one of those conditions you may be eligible for both this study and the dedicated one — apply here and we'll route you appropriately.

Onyx is a research collective based in Berkeley, California. Our founders hold PhDs from UC Berkeley with backgrounds in computational biology and AI. The study is IRB-approved, meaning an independent ethics board oversees how the research is conducted and how participant data is handled.
