The Asia Cohort Consortium
The Asia Cohort Consortium (ACC) is a collaborative effort seeking to understand the relationship between genetics, environmental exposures, and the etiology of disease through the establishment of a cohort of at least one million healthy people around the world. These participants will be followed over time to various disease endpoints, including cancer. The collaboration also involves seeking partners among existing cohorts across Asia to facilitate the exploration of specific research questions that need more immediate answers.
Fall Meeting 2013
We will be holding our 2013 Fall Meeting November 11-12, 2013, hosted by Dr. Manami Inoue of the University of Tokyo. More details available on the meeting page.
Publications
We are pleased to announce the first publications of the Asia Cohort Consortium. We are grateful to our authors, writing teams and participating cohorts for their efforts. We also thank the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center for its continued support of the Coordinating Center.
