+
+Discovery of disease biomarkers or risk factors requires high throughput experimentation on patient's samples collected as a cohort of patients. This clinical data is collected from multiple patient cohorts either within an institutions or among many institutions. 
+
+This python package aims to provide standardization in creating a data structure representing each clinical dataset, while allowing for seamless integration of multiple instances.
+
+
+## Installation
+
+git clone ...
+cd ...
+pip install setup.py

+
+### Prerequisites
+
+python 3
