Faculty will develop
methods to better
analyze patient data
By MAYA SHANKAR
Daily Staff Reporter
The University of Michigan
School of Public Health has been
named as one of the institutions
to participate in the Data and
Research
Support
Center,
a
program funded by the National
Institutes of Health.
The program is part of a
national
project,
announced
by
President
Barack
Obama
in January 2015, called the
Precision
Medicine
Initiative.
Funded by the NIH, the initiative
dedicates $55 million to help
further research in the growing
field of precision medicine.
Precision
medicine
—
previously
as
personalized
medicine — aims to treat diseases
individually
based
on
each
patient’s lifestyle, medical history,
environment and genetics. Using
precision medicine, doctors can
better create tailored treatment
plans that are more effective
and efficient for patients than
those planned for the average
population.
There are several components
to the initiative: enroll one
million participants, collect their
genetic samples and health data,
and make the data accessible to
researchers and scientists. The
University will work with several
other institutions to develop
ways to gather and organize the
data from various participating
health systems.
The program as a whole will
also develop methods to analyze
the data and protect the privacy
of those who share it.
Goncalo Abecasis, chair of
the
University’s
Biostatistics
Department and the Felix E.
Moore
Collegiate
Professor
of
Biostatistics,
said
the
University’s particular role is
to develop tools for scientists to
better understand and use the
collected data.
“We are part of a team
that’s led out of Vanderbilt and
Google,” Abecasis said. “They’re
going to be organizing all the
data and genetic information
coming in from the different
health systems. Our particular
role is going to be to develop
research tools that scientists can
use to ask questions about the
data. For example, they can log
into a secure environment and
explore the data and understand
a specific connection between
a certain gene and a certain
disease.”
One reason the University
was chosen to participate in the
program is it’s role as a leader
in precision medicine research,
with current areas of expertise
including
precision
oncology,
drug development and targeted
therapies,
obesity
research;
health outcomes research and
analysis; social research and
new approaches to big data.
In addition, the University
Health System is one of several
major
medical
centers
that
gathers genetic data and relevant
health information from patients
who consent to share it for
research purposes. For example,
the
Michigan
Genomics
Initiative — which began before
the Precision Medicine Initiative
was announce — has the genetic
and medical information of more
than 32,000 participants.
Abecasis said the Michigan
Genomics Initiative was one
of the reasons the University
was chosen to participate in the
project.
“I
think
specifically
why
we were selected is because
the University has a history of
developing research tools for
using genetic data and making
those
tools
available
and
accessible to the community,”
he said. “For us, it is a great
opportunity to be involved. For
a lot of what we do in trying to
understand human disease and
human genetics, having a study
of a million people connected to
rich data is going to be the future
and the start of many exciting
things.”
