The Minnesota Precision Medicine Collaborative (MPMC) at the University of Minnesota was established in late 2016 with seed funding by the Office of the Executive Vice President and the Provost's Grand Challenges Research Initiative, a campuswide effort to advance the research goals of the Twin Cities campus Strategic Plan, Driving Tomorrow.
MPMC is a transformative initiative to use 21st-century technologies—including genomics, informatics, bioengineering, analysis of environmental exposures, and behavioral sciences—to tailor health care to the challenges facing individuals and their communities. MPMC aims to make a unique contribution through collaborative research, cutting-edge innovation, responsible policy, and sustained commitment to improving health equitably across our communities.
