Chicago Annual Workshop on Biomeasures Collection
in Population-Based Health and Aging Research
5th
Annual Chicago Biomeasures Workshop "Global
Trends in Integrated Health and Aging Research: An International
Gathering of Population-Based Health and Aging Researchers"
June 14th-15th (Thursday-Friday), 2007
At the Gleacher Center, The University of Chicago
Sponsored by CCBAR, The Chicago Core on Biomarkers in
Population-Based Aging Research at the Center on Demography and
Economics of Aging, Population Research Center and MacLean Center for
Clinical Medical Ethics at The University of Chicago, in
collaboration with the National Institute on Aging.
The primary aim
of this Workshop was to bring together senior social science and
biomedical researchers engaged in integrated, population-based health
research around the world. Integrated research, in our
definition, combines social and biophysiological or physical
environment variables to explain health-related outcomes. Think
translation between bench and bedside where the bedside is the study
participant’s home (in vivo, human-level biomedical research).4th Annual Chicago Biomarker Workshop

The 3rd annual Chicago Workshop on Biomarker Collection in
Population-Based Health and Aging Research was held
Thursday, June 9th and Friday, June 10th, 2005 at the Gleacher Center,
The University of Chicago.
The 2005 workshop discussed the following topics:
- updates on new technologies in biomarker collection in population-based research;
- discussion of lessons learned from the implementation of new
biomarkers in recent population-based studies;
- exploration of different methods of analysis for integrated social and biological datasets, including what theoretical and statistical models are most useful and how to link social and biological analytic methods.
