In the spring of 1992 faculty representatives from Mount Sinai School of Medicine and its affiliates, Oxford University, and The Graduate School, CUNY, joined to form the Oxford-Mount Sinai Consortium on Bioethics. Since then, the group has evolved. The participating institutions now include: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Oxford University, King's College London, the Vrije University of Amsterdam, and Bar Ilan University and the participating faculty members have become a community of scholars.

As part of our COVID-19 Long-Hauler study, this shows COVID-related symptoms weighted by the number of BioMe participants for whom those symptoms were still being discussed 90 days following COVID-19 diagnosis, when never mentioned for those participants prior to two weeks before diagnosis, so as to ignore preexisting symptoms. While we have data on 2604 Covid+ patients in BioMe, this represents 681 participants who had notes available 90 days post-diagnosis." -Tielman Van Vleck, IPM Associate Computational Scientist and BioMe Co-Investigator
