Congratulations to Principal Investigator Inga Hofmann, MD, and Co-PI Jane Churpek, MD, MS (Medicine), who were recently awarded a one-year, $50,000 Clinical Implementation Grant from the UW Center for Human Genomics and Precision Medicine. Their project, entitled “Development of Cross-Departmental Precision Medicine Program for Hematologic Malignancies and Bone Marrow Failure in Adult and Pediatric Patients,” will develop the first comprehensive cross-departmental precision medicine program for pediatric and adult patients at UW. This program will be led by experts who offer comprehensive and standardized clinical care across pediatrics to adulthood, and will provide genomic testing and syndrome-specific comprehensive treatment plans that adjust for patient-specific risk factors.
