Join us for a full-day virtual event celebrating and exploring the latest research in the fast-moving, multidisciplinary field of precision health. This year’s event focuses on the important role of community participants in research and the positive impact research can have on communities. Featuring national and local experts from a variety of precision health disciplines, this event will provide thought-provoking sessions from multiple perspectives.
The morning session is geared toward researchers, with speakers sharing best practices and the importance of engaging a community. The afternoon session, focusing on the impact of research on community, will be appropriate for both research participants and researchers. All are welcome to attend either or both sessions. A virtual poster session at midday will feature work by funded Precision Health investigators and other invited research groups.
