Leaders from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and the University of Tennessee Medical Center gathered September 3 to celebrate the opening of the Center for Precision Health, a new shared space occupying the third floor of the Orthopaedic Institute in the UT Research Park at Cherokee Farm. The center—which includes areas for a clinical core facility, advanced medical device innovations, entrepreneurial development, and computational medicine—will house UT faculty, UTMC physicians, and community partners and is designed to facilitate transdisciplinary collaboration that will improve the lives of Tennesseans.
“Our goal for the Center for Precision Health has always been to create a space where researchers, physicians, and students can work together to find solutions for the health challenges facing the people of Tennessee and beyond,” said Chancellor Donde Plowman. “I can’t wait to see the incredible discoveries that take place here and all the ways this center supports excellence in research.”
