Award for a research project investigating biomarkers for cardiovascular disease risk in patients with substance use disorder, funded by NIH and managed by Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center.
Description
This project aims to investigate the association between plasma volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and oxidative balance scores (OBS) as potential biomarkers for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in patients with substance use disorder (SUD). The study involves extensive data analysis, clinical biomarker measurement, and creation of a centralized database for managing plasma VOC levels, oxidative stress biomarkers, and CVD risk factors. The project is funded by NIH grant PAR-22-163 and is managed by Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in Shreveport.
