The Georgetown Howard Universities Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences (GHUCCTS) manages clinical research units (CRUs) at both lead institutions which house most of the clinical research activity of their institutions. Activity at the Georgetown CRU diminished markedly during the pandemic. Risk is being managed by physically segregating COVID related research, testing of personnel and

In 1854, case mapping linked a cholera epidemic to a water pump source. Modern IT is applied to understanding disease clustering, role of toxins, with emerging application to stress and health care access. The District of Columbia has diverse ethnic groups and marked disparities of healthy living space, care facilities, and geographic variation of disease. We plan to leverage advanced IT and

Deep learning paired with wearable passive sensing data predicts deterioration in anxiety disorder symptoms across 17-18 years
Recent studies have demonstrated that passive smartphone and wearable sensor data collected throughout daily life can predict anxiety symptoms cross-sectionally. However, to date, no research has demonstrated the capacity for these digital biomarkers to predict long-term prognosis. We utilized deep
The cross-sectional association of renal dysfunction with tests of cognition in middle-aged adults with early type 2 diabetes: The GRADE Study
