About the Horizon Study

The Horizon Study is a research initiative at the University of Pittsburgh in partnership with UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center). Our physicians, nurses, and scientists are building a research resource to better understand why some people develop certain health conditions while others do not — and how genetics, lifestyle, and environment interact to shape long-term health.

By combining biological samples with health record information, researchers can identify patterns that may lead to better prevention strategies and more personalized approaches to care in the future.
