The Problem: Today’s Medicine
The current system of health care delivery is inherently wasteful and
driven more by tradition than by scientific principle. A new paradigm
is needed to control costs and improve health (outcomes).
Most of today’s medications are less than 50% effective in the
intended population.
Adverse drug reactions caused by the failure to predict toxicity in
individuals and toxic drug-drug interactions now account for 100,000
patient deaths, 2 million hospitalizations, and $100 billion in health
care costs in the United States every year.
Current costs to bring a drug to market are astronomical (e.g. >$1B
and 10 or more years).

“The next ten years will be seen as a signal point
of transition in healthcare. Medicine will be transformed from an instinctive
art of alleviating symptoms to a science of personalized health care”.

Personalized Medicine Initiative
The goal of this proposed initiative is to develop a
broad-based program that builds on Utah’s core
strengths in human biology and genetics, and aims
to further the molecular understanding of disease
mechanisms to discover and direct diagnostic
measures and therapeutic approaches to the right
population of people, at the right time -ideally while
they are still well.
