HDRUK Cambridge: against COVID-19 Hub
HDRUK Cambridge is a collaboration between Department of Public Health and Primary Care, University of Cambridge and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
Project: HDRUK Cambridge COVID-19 Risk Factors Consortium
Research Group: Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit
Project Description: The HDRUK Cambridge COVID-19 Risk Factors Consortium aims to understand risk factors for COVID-19, clinical trajectory and associated health outcomes through linkage of population and patient cohort bioresources led from Cambridge (with over 230,000 participants) with SARS-CoV-2 test results provided by Public Health England and other electronic health records. Once this data has been linked, researchers will be able to use this data to identify risk factors that influence susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection and the likelihood of adverse consequences of infection.
