Research on Tap: The Framingham Heart Study — Three Generations, 78 Years of Data, and More to Discover

We are proud to be featured in Boston University’s Research on Tap series, spotlighting the enduring legacy and ongoing impact of the Framingham Heart Study.

This landmark longitudinal study — now spanning 78 years, three generations, more than 15,000 participants, and over 2 million biosamples — has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of cardiovascular disease and continues to drive groundbreaking discoveries across a wide range of health conditions, including cognitive decline, dementia, osteoporosis, cancer, kidney and lung health, and more.

Join us for a special panel event:

Thursday, April 9 | 4–6 PM  Kilachand Center Colloquium Room (Room 101), 610 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02215

The event will bring together leading researchers to explore how decades of rigorous, population-based science have evolved into a collaborative network of studies — and to discuss new opportunities for interdisciplinary partnership.

Featured panelists include: Donald Lloyd-Jones, Rhoda Au, Lindsay Farrer, Jessica Fetterman, Douglas Kiel, Daniel Levy, Jesse Mez, Joanne Murabito, Matthew Nayor, George O’Connor, Nicole Spartano, Vanessa Xanthakis, and more.
