Moore, Felix, FAPHA

Felix Moore established the Biometrics Research Branch of the NHI and began work on the Framingham Heart Study when it was transferred to the Heart Institute in 1949. This launched his involvement with cardiovascular disease epidemiology, an association that would continue for many decades at the University of Michigan. Moore is remembered for his design of the Framingham Study cohort and his analysis of the Cooperative Study on Blood Lipoproteins in the 1950s and analysis of the American Heart Association Pooling Project in the 1960s and 70s.
