Hybrid: In person in WBOB 150 or zoom MN United States

A person’s background exposures provide the context for the development of his/her disease. Understanding the underlying biological mechanisms important for the development or progression of disease depends on this context. Traditional epidemiologic approaches have relied on stratification or adjustment using regression models, however, this as major limitations when we are dealing with big datasets. This is especially true given the relatively small sample sizes in genomic studies combined with the extraordinarily large number of potential risk factors limits our ability…

The COVID-19 pandemic in the United States has been characterized by striking racial and ethnic inequity since it began. How has that inequity evolved?
