The Milieu Intérieur project consist of a very well characterised set of healthy donor samples and data from 1,000 healthy donors for the study of immune responses

Researchers can request access to the Milieu Intérieur data and/or biological samples by filling the Data Access Request form.

The Milieu Intérieur Data Access Committee (DAC) reviews Data Access Request forms every month and grants access to any research project whose objectives are consistent with the informed consent signed by the research participants. In particular, research on Milieu Intérieur datasets is restricted to research on the genetic and environmental determinants of human variation in immune responses.

Conditions: The Applicant must be compliant with current regulations for the data use. In no case these data should be (1) used for reidentification of subjects, (2) sent to a third party, (3) used for diagnostic purposes, and (4) held unencrypted on personal computers. In addition, the Milieu Intérieur Consortium is required to continuously inform the research participants about any research project utilizing their personal data. Therefore, the title of the project and names and affiliations of data requesters are posted on https://www.milieuinterieur.fr/en/about-us/collaborations/ upon approval.
