Welcome to the Center for Precision Medicine
Formerly known as the Center for Human Genomics and Precision Medicine, our Center has adopted a new name to reflect the evolving landscape of precision health. While genomics remains central to our mission, the scope of precision medicine has expanded to include a broader range of tools and data sources that enhance our ability to anticipate, diagnose, and manage disease across the lifespan.
Precision genomic medicine uses the informational content of an individual’s genome to guide health care decisions throughout life. This approach holds the promise of transforming clinical care by enabling more accurate diagnoses, targeted treatments, and proactive disease prevention.
Our Mission
Since becoming operational in 2018, our mission has been to catalyze research, clinical, and educational activities in human genomics and precision medicine, grow and nurture the UW precision medicine community, and bring the benefits of precision health to all Wisconsinites.
We carry out this mission by:
- Supporting bench-to-bedside research through collaborations, grants, and flagship projects
- Implementing collaborative clinical initiatives in precision medicine
- Strengthening research and clinical infrastructure
- Recruiting faculty and specialists in genomics and precision medicine
- Educating the next generation of scientists and clinicians
- Providing outreach and education to our local community and the state of Wisconsin
- Connecting UW and Wisconsin to the global genomic medicine community
