Featured Resources
COMETS Analytics
COMETS Analytics is a cloud-based, self-serviced analytic platform developed for consortium-based metabolomics analyses. It is available for anyone to use but requires registration on the site.
Human Health Exposure Analysis Resource (HHEAR)
This NIH-supported resource aims to advance understanding of the influence of environment on human health over a lifetime. HHEAR provides researchers access to high-quality, exposure-assessment services including, state of the art laboratory analysis of biological and environmental samples, statistical analysis, and expert consultation on exposure analysis, study design, and data analysis and interpretation.
Current Initiatives
Keep up to date about the current Genomic Epidemiology projects and initiatives ongoing at EGRP.
Patient Engagement and Cancer Genome Sequencing Network
NCI intends to support the Participant Engagement and Cancer Genome Sequencing (PE-CGS) Network, which will include several research centers and one Coordinating Center. The overall purpose of the PE-CGS Network is to promote and support direct engagement of cancer patients and post-treatment cancer survivors as participants in cancer research and to use such approaches for rigorous cancer genome sequencing programs addressing important knowledge gaps in the genomic characterizations of tumors.
