The New Landscape of Genomic Sciences: Medicine and Beyond

 

Dr. Urrutia is the Director of the Genomic Sciences and Precision Medicine Center (GSPMC) and the Warren P. Knowles Chair for Genomics and Precision Medicine. Dr. Urrutia has dedicated his nearly 30-year career to Precision Medicine research, discovery, and how to apply that innovation to advance patient care and public health. Prior to MCW, Dr. Urrutia held positions at the National Institutes of Health during the Human Genome Project, thereafter moving to Mayo Clinic where he spent 25 years. At Mayo, he was a founding member of the Precision Medicine Center and served as the Director of the Gastrointestinal Research Unit, the Director of the Ph.D. Program in Tumor Biology, Associate Director for Genomics at the Mayo Clinic General Clinical Research Center, and as the Director of the Gastrointestinal Cancer Research Program. He has and currently holds national and international leadership positions in Precision Medicine, speaking regularly not only on his own world-leading scientific discoveries, but also on the importance of bringing together experts in research, education, public policy, and industry.

 

Today, Genomic Sciences and Precision Medicine are connecting leaders across an array of disciplines with cutting-edge technologies that allow us to improve the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and health of our patients and communities in ways never-before possible. However, these advancements are not without their challenges.
