Baseline Study Town Hall Meeting
Friday, March 20, 2015, 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM,
Stanford University Clark Center Auditorium
The School of Medicine invites you to a Town Hall meeting to share and discuss an exciting research endeavor called the “Baseline Study.”
Baseline is a clinical research collaboration between Google Life Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, and Duke University School of Medicine to develop an integrated understanding of human health and the transition to disease. The study will characterize human systems biology by measuring multiple systems simultaneously and longitudinally using a series of clinical, bodily fluid biomarkers, imaging, psychosocial, behavioral, socioeconomic, geospatial, physiometric, and molecular tools. The study will enroll up to 10,000 participants representative of the US population, stratified by conventional risk factors or presence of cardiovascular disease or cancer.
The overall goal of the Baseline Study is to develop a comprehensive understanding of health an disease state transitions for more focused preventive measures, timely and targeted preemptive interventions, and a better development of new therapeutics and diagnostics. In doing so, it will over many years create a biomedical information structure that will enable scientists, clinicians and policy makers to work with data scientists to account for the complex interplay of biological, medical and social systems.
Details of the study design and important benefits to the Stanford medical community will be discussed in an interactive format. Space is limited and preregistration is required. RSVP here
