Mapping the human genome was an amazing feat, but now that critical data needs to be put to use. How does each cell use the information contained within? What can we learn about genetic mutation and treatment of disease by studying genomics? These questions are being explored through collaboration between UW Medicine and the College of Engineering, a partnership fusing biomedicine and engineering for the advancement of health care. Students play an active role in this cutting-edge research, and the Genomics Outreach for Minorities program encourages minority students to become members of the genomics research team.
