A Powerful Collaboration For Precision Medicine

Precision medicine, genomics and data science have the potential to transform health care.

UW Medicine, The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Seattle Children’s have co-founded The Brotman Baty Institute to accelerate both the basic sciences of precision medicine and the delivery of benefits to patients.

The Institute is made possible by the generosity of Jeff and Susan Brotman, and Dan and Pam Baty.

Simpler name for cancer genetic syndrome could save lives

July 3, 2019 | By BrotmanBaty

Names that label certain cancer risk genes as sex- or organ-specific can dissuade people who need to be tested, according to Nature commentary. MEDIA CONTACT: Leila Gray As medical science links certain genetic mutations with a greater variety of cancers, the names for these risk syndromes are falling out of step. It’s more than...
