The HERITAGE Family Study

The HERITAGE study has been supported from 1992 to 2013 by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

META-PREDICT

This study uses established OMICS approaches to generate classifers that predict the responses to regular exercise, with an emphasis on the exercise-induced changes in insulin sensitivity. META-PREDICT is supported by the European Union (Grant 277936) for the period from 2012 to 2015.

Prince Faisal Bin Fahad International Prize for Arab Sport Development Research

The focus of this project is the prediction of elite endurance athlete status based on a genome-wide exploration with the MetaboChip.

NIH/NIGMS Institutional Center Grant Supported Through the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) Program

This COBRE-funded project takes an integrated genomic, biological, and behavioral approach to unravel the complexity and causes of variation in HDL due to gene-exercise and gene-nutrition interactions.

Louisiana Clinical and Translational Science Centers (LA CaTS)

This LA CaTS-funded project integrates clinical and genetic data to predict the response of lipoproteins to regular exercise.
