ProtectHearts
ProtectHearts will use the world’s largest population-biobank-linked proteomics datasets to develop a novel protein-based risk score (ProtRS) for cardiovascular disease.
HUNT AI for Heart Health
Combining structured and unstructured health data with genomics, we will employ explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods to improve CVD prediction.
INTERVENE
We integrate AI and human genetics to develop tools for disease prevention, diagnosis, and personalised treatment.

A unified framework for estimating country-specific cumulative incidence for 18 diseases stratified by polygenic risk
Polygenic scores (PGSs) represent the genetic risk for complex diseases. We develop a novel framework to estimate country-, age-, and sex-specific estimates of cumulative incidence stratified by PGS for 18 diseases.
Discovery and systematic characterization of risk variants for coronary artery disease in over a million participants.
We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for coronary artery disease (CAD) comprising 181,522 cases among 1,165,690 participants of predominantly European ancestry. We detected 241 associations, including 30 new loci.

International research study finds new genetic links to heart disease
An international research study published in Nature Genetics in December 2022 revealed new information about the role genetics play in heart disease.
We're Doomed, We're Saved Podcast
In We’re doomed we’re saved, Andreas Horchler and Louise von Stechow speak to two Polygenic Risk Score researchers, who contributed to the international and interdisciplinary, EU-funded INTERVENE project.
