ECONOGENOMICS WORKING GROUP

Our Econogenomics Working Group brings together a diverse set of researchers with a variety of clinical and scientific expertise. Our economic modeling core, led by Dr. Ann Wu, uses a variety of modeling approaches to project the medical and financial consequences of genomic medicine, including the use of pharmacogenomic testing to inform medication choices and the use of sequencing as an adjunct to standard newborn screening. Our clinical core, led by Dr. Kurt Christensen, conducts economic analyses alongside prospective clinical studies to better understand the full costs of sequencing and to collect real-world data about health care utilization and clinical outcomes following genomic tests. Together, our mission is to understand the economic impact of translating genomic advances into clinical practice... Through rigorous scientific research, we are establishing a foundation of evidence for genomic medicine that will accelerate the adoption of novel genomics-based technologies and..
