Research
Expanding research at the University of Arizona is a cornerstone of our mission. By recruiting leading researchers to UAHS and fostering collaboration among experts in informatics and biostatistics across the university, we are creating a vibrant academic nexus for innovation. Our center provides a dynamic environment that brings together cutting-edge research with practical applications, offering a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration. Through these efforts, we are not only enhancing research capacity but also advancing the university’s standing as a leader in biomedical informatics, data science, and biostatistics.
The University of Arizona and Banner Health are partners of the All of Us Research Program. All of Us is a national effort that aims to build the largest most diverse database of health information of its kind that researchers can use to study health and illness.
We want to support researchers in efforts to understand how different genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors impact health and disease
CB2 researchers are leading a statewide effort to study the long-term effects of COVID-19 as part of the National Institutes of Health’s Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) initiative.
The goals of RECOVER are to understand, treat and prevent post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). Long COVID is a form of PASC and refers to symptoms that persist for weeks or months after the acute infection
Dr. Justin Starren is collaborating with Northwestern University to lead an international effort to define Common Data Elements (CDE) to improve rigor and reproducibility in clinical trials of Food Allergy.
A Common Data Element is a standardized, precisely defined question, paired with a set of allowable responses, used uniformly across different sites, studies, or clinical trials to ensure consistent data collection. In other words, the food allergy common data elements (CDEs) will be developed so that data can be collected in the same way across multiple research studies.
