OME and Precision Medicine

What is Precision Medicine?

At UCSF, we envision a future in which we will be able to cross-reference an individual's personal history and biology with patterns found worldwide and use that network of knowledge to pinpoint and deliver care that's preventive, targeted, timely and effective.

UCSF is bringing nearly 150 select participants to harness the power of personal and cumulative health data to fundamentally shift the practice of medicine. Collectively, they will bring the wide range of expertise needed to make this happen, from big data to biotech, from economics to genomics.
