Vibrent Health, VCU partner to offer twin research platform

NEW YORK – Vibrent Health said Tuesday that it has partnered with Virginia Commonwealth University to launch a new research platform aimed at helping researchers study the genetic and environmental influences underlying individual differences in twins.

Operating in collaboration with VCU Wright Center, the Global Twin Research Platform consolidates data from otherwise disconnected twin registries, offering researchers access to larger combined datasets.

Vibrent said the platform builds on its ongoing work with the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program, for which it provides the central software technology platform and digital tools supporting recruitment, data collection, engagement, and retention of participants.
