The Rochester Epidemiology Project: “The greatest medical resource you’ve never heard of”
The Rochester Epidemiology Project has changed the way we view ADHD. Led directly to new dementia diagnoses. Created a roadmap for treating epilepsy. Right now, dozens of researchers from around the world are relying on The REP for treating COVID-19 patients and tracking vaccine efficacy. The REP has, in the words of the New England Journal of Medicine, “revolutionized medical research.” And, if you’ve ever lived in Rochester, you’re probably a part of it. Written By: Steve Lange | ×
