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.
