Core Tip

Core Tip: The application of synthetic data may help accelerate research development as a tool coupled with traditional, established research datasets. However, this tool is still in its early stages in this clinical area. The current literature focuses on three major areas as of current including renal cell carcinoma, chronic kidney disease, and blood pressure and hypertension.
