Biomarkers

[D.A. McLeod]

I'm brainstorming for ideas.  In the future, I anticipate making 
recommendations re: measuring biomarkers in blood samples from a large 
cross section of the normal population.  I will have a sample(s) of blood 
and will be able to use whole blood, plasma, serum as well as DNA 
extracted from the lymphocytes and a bank of immortalized lymphocytes 
stored in liquid nitrogen as a biorepository.  The focus of the study 
must be on disease or risk factors that impact on the health of the 
population.  A reasonable argument to justify each idea would be 
appreciated and a reference if possible.

Thanx
