The MORGAM Project

The MORGAM (MOnica Risk, Genetics, Archiving and Monograph) Project is a multinational collaborative study exploring the relationships between the development of cardiovascular diseases, their classic and genetic risk factors and biomarkers. This is done through follow-up of cohorts examined in the MONICA risk factor surveys and other studies.

The MORGAM Project subsequently became part of GenomEUtwin (a Network of Excellence for Genomics in Europe, FP5) and ENGAGE (European Network in Genetic And Genomic Epidemiology, FP7), and currently participates in CHANCES (Consortium on Health and Ageing: Network of Cohorts in Europe and the United States, FP7)  and BiomarCaRE (Biomarker for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment in Europe, FP7).
