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.”
