    DescriptionFelix Rivera-Mariani, associate professor in the College of Arts and Sciences, has launched the Educational Biomarker Discovery Lab (EBDL). This new lab focuses on studying health markers (biomarkers) that can help us understand issues related to cardiovascular and respiratory health. The EBDL will offer students hands-on experience in lab work, data analysis, and computer science, encouraging them to explore how these areas can work together to improve community health.

    The lab will also benefit from Rivera-Mariani's extensive network of researchers and access to important national health databases, including the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the BioLINCC from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Additionally, he is part of the All of Us Project, led by the National Institutes of Health.

    "The Educational Biomarker Discovery Lab is more than just a research space—it's an educational environment designed to prepare the next generation of scientists to address the complex health challenges of tomorrow." Dr. Rivera-Mariani
