Within an #NIH #IRP team based in Baltimore, Maryland, Dr. Cheryl Cropp (front, second from the right) mines #genetic #data for insight into the #epidemiology of #prostate #cancer. It’s a daunting task that could be compared to finding a needle in a haystack. Dr. Cropp and her colleagues use a powerful suite of statistical tools to ensure data from large genetic screens is accurate and meaningful.
