This new R01, which is a collaboration with Craig Hersh (Harvard) and Frank Sciurba (Pitt) aims to identify such subtypes, which can help in the future to develop better disease management and treatment strategies.<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n[1] WHO Fact Sheets (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/chronic-obstructive-pulmonary-disease-(copd)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">link<\/a>)<\/p>\n[2] WHO Global Health Estimates (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/the-top-10-causes-of-death\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">link<\/a>)<\/p>\n[3] CDC: COPD Key Facts (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/dotw\/copd\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">link<\/a>) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Benos Lab received an R01 grant from NHLBI-NIH to develop machine learning methods to identify and study chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) subtypes.
