Our Programs
Programs and projects in the Center for Individualized Medicine focus on integrating genomic science into medicine to improve patient care.
Biomarker Discovery
Discovers molecular markers in blood and tissue for more precise disease diagnosis and treatment
Clinomics
Moves discoveries from lab to patient care using practical, cost-effective genomic tests
Epigenomics
Explores the impact of environmental factors on how genes are expressed
Microbiome
Explores genetic code of the body's microorganisms to identify microbiome genomes used to detect, diagnose and understand infections and other diseases
Pharmacogenomics
Studies how variations in genes affect response to medications, helping predict drug efficacy, guide dosing and improve patient safety
Bioethics
Addresses ethical, legal, social and policy implications of genomic medicine with a focus on the best interests of patients
Biorepositories
Collects and stores biospecimens, including tissue, blood, urine, DNA and RNA from research volunteers
Information Technology
Provides data warehousing and computational resources, including high-speed servers for identifying genomic variants and storing information
Medical Genome Facility
Aids in interpreting genomic findings and their value to patient care and provides efficient access to advanced genomic technologies
