Genomics Research and Personalized Medicine: New Investments on the Frontier of Pediatric Health Care

The Steve and Cindy Rasmussen Institute for Genomic Medicine at the Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital was created in 2016 to bring pediatric personalized genomic medicine not only to Nationwide Children’s patients but to children across the country and around the globe. Over the next five years, new investments, partnerships and infrastructure will allow the Institute for Genomic Medicine to develop novel genomics-enabled research, advance genomics-driven precision medicine and pursue further breakthroughs in the technology of computational genomics and informatics.

The Institute’s world-renowned faculty are moving genome-based testing into the mainstream of pediatric diagnosis and treatment, making the results accessible and meaningful for patients and families.
