Courtois Cardiovascular Signature Program
The primary objective of this biorepository is to provide the technical and logistical infrastructure for collecting and maintaining biospecimens, data and their associated information derived from biological material: blood, body fluids, tissue samples, genomic, microbiomic, digital health data, and imaging studies. The secondary objective is to identify patterns, using artificial intelligence, to create cardiovascular signatures and predict who may develop cardiovascular diseases and who will remain healthy, even if at risk.
