The Charles Bronfman Institute for Personalized Medicine

Programs

At the Institute for Personalized Medicine, we are charged with focusing the efforts of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in Precision Medicine and healthcare while providing resources, scientific vision, and research programs that evaluate and advance the most promising aspects of personalized medicine for the diverse communities served by the Mount Sinai Health System.

The current lack of diversity in genomic research data is hindering what we can learn about health and potential treatments in our global population. By enhancing the diversity of people participating in genomic research, we can advance our knowledge and discovery of human genetics for all populations. To that end, The Charles Bronfman Institute for Personalized Medicine is spearheading the effort to carry out the genetic sequencing of one million Mount Sinai patients within the next five years. This initiative, one of the largest such sequencing projects of its kind, will integrate health and research data at Mount Sinai to promote discoveries that will directly benefit our patient population.
