Columbia University and our hospital partner, NewYork-Presbyterian, are at the forefront of genomics, data science, and the core science, policy, and engineering disciplines essential to this emerging field of humanistic medicine known as precision medicine, which the White House announced on Jan. 30 is the mission of a new $215 million federal initiative.
The potential for progress in this broad field goes beyond new cures for disease and the practice of medicine. It encompasses virtually every part of the university, including areas that explore fundamental issues of human self-knowledge and the legal, policy, and economic implications of revolutionary changes in our understanding of human biology.
