Doctoral Theses

Two doctoral theses are currently in progress as part of the COR-School project. These theses focus on evaluating various health parameters, their interrelationships, and their association with cardiac biomarkers to improve the health of young populations. Links to summaries or details of upcoming thesis defenses will be made available when finalized.
