See you at AHA!

This weekend, cardiovascular researchers from around the globe will be meeting in Chicago for the 2018 Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association. For the Cardiovascular Disease Knowledge Portal team, this is an opportunity to meet and talk with the geneticists and biologists who use the site and get your input on how we can improve it.

Please come visit us at booth #2249 in the Exhibit Hall! We'll be there on Saturday, Nov. 10 from 11am-5pm; on Sunday, Nov. 11 from 10am-4:30pm; and on Monday, Nov. 12 from 10am-3pm.

Sign up for a hands-on tutorial session on the Knowledge Portals

Are you attending the American Society of Human Genetics meeting in October? If so, save your Friday lunch break for a tutorial session on the Knowledge Portals! Navigating complex disease genetics: using the Knowledge Portal Network to move from SNPs to functional insights 12:30pm - 1:45pm Friday, October 19 San Diego Convention Center Room 28C, Upper Level Bring your laptop and your questions about the  Cardiovascular Disease ,  Cerebrovascular Disease , or  Type 2 Diabetes  Knowledge Portals (KPs). We'll go over some basics, illustrate workflows, and answer questions about how you can use KPs to investigate SNPs, genes, or regions of interest and turn genetic data into insights about complex diseases. Please sign up so we can plan for refreshments. We'll send you a reminder a few days beforehand. We look forward to seeing you there! Please contact us with any questions or suggestions for topics you'd like to discuss. Loading...

Announcing the Cardiovascular Disease Knowledge Portal

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Cardiovascular Disease Knowledge Portal (CVDKP). Our collaboration with Dr. Patrick Ellinor, Dr. Sek Kathiresan, and their colleagues in the Atrial Fibrillation , Global Lipids Genetics , Myocardial Infarction Genetics , and CARDIoGRAMPlusC4D consortia has created a resource that offers world-wide open access to genetic and genomic information about atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and related traits, with the goal of democratizing access to genomic data and accelerating cardiovascular genomics research.
 The CVDKP is constructed on a software architecture originally developed for the Type 2 Diabetes Knowledge Portal (T2DKP), which is the central product of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership in Type 2 Diabetes (AMP T2D). AMP T2D is a public-private partnership between the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, biopharmaceutical companies, and non-profit organizations that is managed through t
