Precision Health Briefing
As we learn more about the human genome, doctors and researchers can use genetic information to create customized medical cures for patients. We spoke with Dr. Jeff Teckman, Professor of Pediatrics at St. Louis University about the basic principles of precision health and medicine, as well as some potential challenges. Then, we feature the NextGen Precision Health Institute at the University of Missouri, where researchers will soon be conducting ground-breaking work to solve some of Missouri’s greatest health challenges.
