News & Updates
The patterning of body shape depends on the spacing, timing and amount of gene expression. We have developed chemical tools that allow for us to control the spacing, timing and degree of gene expression using light.
Winograd gave her talk as part of the monthly series, which showcases multidisciplinary health research from across the UM System.
Nichols has been studying how the amyloid-β protein interacts with a group of three proteins known as NLRP3 inflammasome to cause inflammation inside immune cells in the brain.
Discovery Series
The NextGen Precision Health Discovery Series is a monthly seminar that provides learning opportunities for UM System faculty and staff across disciplines, the statewide community and our other partners. All are welcome to join the discussion to learn about the scope of precision health research and identify potential collaborative opportunities.
What is Precision Health?
Precision health develops interventions for individuals and populations to improve diagnosis, treatment and patient care. Rather than using a traditional one-size-fits-all approach, precision health is based on individualized factors, such as genetics, environment and lifestyle.
