Hopkins wins $14 million NIH grant for genetic cardiopulmonary disease research

taking a whole lot of different roads, each road being governed by a distinct set of genes," says Garcia. "We will also undoubtedly identify a number of genes that we never would have suspected to be important in these diseases."

Hopkins is one of 11 grantees from NHLBI's new Programs for Genomic Applications. "One of the reasons we were able to compete successfully and win this grant is that we have very well-characterized patient populations at Hopkins," says Garcia. "We've been following patients with these disorders for a long period of time. We know their pulmonary function, the severity of their disease, symptoms, medication usages, etc. We have some really complex data sets on these patients." All institutions involved will collaborate together and information will be posted on the Internet so that investigators worldwide can benefit from the new knowledge.

Other institutions receiving grants are University of California-Lawrence Berkley Lab, Institute for Genomic Research, Massachusetts General Hospital, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Harvard University Medical School, University of Arizona, Jackson Laboratory, David Gladstone Institutes, Medical College of Wisconsin, and University of Washington.
