In concert with our mission, the ICTS supports the acceleration of genomic discovery to diagnose diseases, thereby improving human health. To accomplish this goal, the ICTS developed a precision health function dedicated specifically to genomics. 

The ICTS Precision Health goals include:

  • Making genomic resources more accessible and useful to a wide variety of researchers
  • Facilitating formation of multidisciplinary teams who will use genomics in both bench-to-bedside and bedside-to-bench research, and
  • Educating the translational research workforce, health care providers, patients, and the public regarding the use of genomics in clinical and translational research.
    • Community Outreach Impact: Learn more about how the Precision Health function develops outreach endeavors to broaden our impact within the community.
