Please share your cohorts discovery with us, I am honored to organize a special issue with Aniruddh Patel and Yajie Zhao, 赵亚杰 on large cohort study. GPB, a top 10 journal ranked in Bioinformatics and Computational biology.

10-year ASCVD risk prediction leads to older individuals being prioritized for statins missing opportunities for earlier risk recognition & prevention. Our work led by Sarah Urbut uses genetics & dynamic risk factor trajectories toward intersecting risk *early.*
