NextGen Precision Health’s inaugural PATHWAYS symposium draws on pathbreaking work from across the 91Ï㽶¶ÌÊÓƵ System to celebrate research collaborations with the potential to impact global health.

On average in the U.S., it takes for a new treatment to make it from the discovery phase to a clinical patient. We believe we can accelerate that time frame if all segments of the translational science pipeline are engaged from the beginning. At the PATHWAYS symposium, research faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students from a broad range of disciplines will build understanding to lower research barriers and jump start new projects.

Keep an eye out for updates this fall about:

The agenda will promote a dual mission: accelerating discoveries and fostering discoverers. The symposium will provide networking opportunities for experts across our four universities and give young researchers a pragmatic approach for connecting to other fields and the translation process. By making each of our contributions accessible and relevant across domains, we can leverage our strengths and ultimately impact quality of life around the world.
