Do you want to include biomarkers in your research but don’t know how to get started? This week-long introduction to biospecimens provides a basic understanding and practical examples for collecting specimens such as blood, saliva, hair, and more. Activities will be anchored to social science and public health hypotheses and frameworks. Learn about options for what to collect, how to develop protocols, how to work with a lab, ethical considerations, costs, gene-environment interactions, and overall logistics. Taught by Dr. Andrew Olshan and Dr. Nancy Dole of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
