Establishing infrastructure in Personalized Medicine: The University of Maryland Program for Personalized and Genomic Medicine

摘要

In 2011, the University of Maryland established the Program for Personalized and Genomic Medicine (PPGM) to accelerate the pace of discovery and implementation of evidence-based personalized and genomic medicine. Establishing such a program required a multi-pronged approach that addressed education, translational medicine, and discovery initiatives. We describe the efforts adopted to create a culture of innovation and early adopters of pharmacogenomics within our educational and clinical care systems. As the evidence base grows, we expect to expand our efforts to realize fully the promise of personalized medicine.
