Drs. Bruce Psaty, professor emeritus (General Internal Medicine) and Nicholas Smith (Dept. of Epidemiology) have received a three-year $2.2 million grant to support the Cardiovascular Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) Consortium, which was originally formed in 2008.
CHARGE involves a large-scale collaboration among NHLBI cohort studies for analyses of genomic, proteomic, metabolomic and methylation data. These cohorts have an extensive collection of genomic data as well as repeated measures of risk factors, subclinical disease indicators, and cardiovascular events on over 50,000 multi-ethnic participants.
