Researchers at UTHealth Houston School of Public Health found that blood-based protein signatures may help identify children at greater risk for cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease later in life.

The study analyzed data from children participating in the Border Health Research Cohort at the Border Health Research Center in Brownsville, along with data from adults in the same community and more than 28,000 adults in the UK Biobank.

Led by Heather Highland, PhD, and Kari North, PhD, the research highlights the potential for earlier identification and intervention before serious disease develops.

“This makes this a modifiable risk state rather than a fixed marker of fate,” North said.

Congratulations to our 2026 RGVSSI interns on completing this year’s program! We are proud of everything you accomplished and grateful to everyone who helped make this milestone year possible.
