Since the days of the Human Genome Project, University of Utah Health has been a leader in human genetics. U of U Health researchers have determined the genetic causes of diseases, pioneered precision-medicine strategies to bring the best care to every patient, and leveraged unique Utah databases to uncover fundamental facets of human biology.
Today, advances in research and technology make genetic medicine an increasingly viable solution to previously intractable problems, from rapid diagnosis of rare diseases to understanding the basis of complex human traits.
At the 2025 Genomic Medicine Symposium, the Center for Genomic Medicine at University of Utah Health, partnering with the Center for Personalized Medicine at Primary Children’s Hospital, came together to share research strategies, celebrate successes, and build new collaborations to advance genetic medicine.
