About Berkeley Heart Lab, Inc.

Berkeley Heart Lab (BHL) was founded in 1995 and is headquartered in Burlingame, California with a laboratory facility in Alameda, California. BHL provides advanced blood testing and analysis services for early detection and treatment of heart disease. These tests provide patients and physicians with detailed information needed for early heart disease detection, better prevention, and more personalized treatments. Our unique, patented blood testing technology has established us as the market leader in heart disease risk analysis and cardiovascular disease management.

Project Description

Berkeley HeartLab provides a third-generation technology and complete suite of cardiovascular blood tests designed to help physicians develop a comprehensive baseline of patient risk to determine who to treat, how aggressively, and to monitor the therapy. A web based system called 4myheart.com is used to deliver test results and suggested treatment plans to the physician. Patients can then log on to a web site, view their results, see graphs of their tests over a period of time, log exercise information, and obtain menus specific to their treatment plan. Other features are being added to the site on a regular basis to improve patient compliance.

High volume practices have a BHL Clinical Educator on site to assist the practice and educate the patient with the goal of increased patient compliance to their treatment plan. The group of patients seeing a clinical educator is referred to as “Program.” Those in the practice not seen by a Clinical Educator are referred to as “Non-Program.” We would like to compare several pieces of data to determine the differences between Program and Non-Program patients perhaps through multivariate analysis or other techniques.

There are other projects on the horizon involving statistical analysis such as analyzing data for new tests we are considering, doing outcome studies and various other projects. In some cases, the biostatistician would co-author papers with BHL staff.

Desired Skills

Biostatistics expertise, Epidemiology, Bioinformatics, strong interpersonal, verbal and writing skills. Experience in the cardiovascular area is a real plus.
