The samples, stored in the DNA Biorepository on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, will give researchers a golden opportunity to look for genetic patterns that indicate an increased risk of disease. That information could lead to new therapies that target an individual\u2019s specific genetic makeup and improve their chances of living productive lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonalized\u201d or \u201cprecision\u201d medicine has already revolutionized care for cancer patients. For example, therapies that target specific genetic mutations have greatly extended the lives of stage 4 lung cancer patients who not long ago would have survived only a matter of months. The DNA Biorepository opens the door to spreading those successes to many more specialties and patients.<\/p>\n<p>The personalized medicine approach is not simple. It requires sophisticated technology to decode DNA samples as well as process and store vast amounts of information within them. The work of the BIPM has only begun. But the potential benefits are straightforward, says the center\u2019s director, Kathleen Barnes, PhD.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re building the capacity and tools we need to develop a better system and process for diagnosing and predicting disease,\u201d she said. \u201cWe want to be able to say to patients, \u2018If you have this disease, this is the therapy that will work best for you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/center-cracks-the-code-for-personalized-medicine-growth\/\">Read more about personalized medicine at UCHealth<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UCHealth is on a mission to put disease in the crosshairs of medical researchers and clinicians.
