The calm before the swarm
More than 4,000 faculty and staff members attended the event, and many, we are happy to say, stopped by the Precision Health booth.

At Researchpalooza on August 8, Precision Health joined 90 other U-M offices, programs, and labs that support biomedical research. Held annually at the same time as Michigan Medicine’s staff-appreciation ice cream social, Researchpalooza attracts thousands of U-M faculty and staff. This was the first year that Precision Health took part in the event, and we were delighted by all the people who lined up outside our booth to play our memory card game, win prizes, and learn about Precision Health.
