KENTUCKY CENTER FOR PRECISION MEDICINE (KCPM) DATA AND ANALYTICAL SYSTEMS - THE KENTUCKY CENTER FOR PRECISION MEDICINE (KCPM) IS A CENTRAL COMPONENT OF UOFL’S LONG-TERM RESEARCH VISION, WHICH AIMS TO “IGNITE POTENTIAL AND SHAPE TOMORROW” THROUGH EXPANSION OF RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE, ACCELERATING HEALTH TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT, AND ENHANCING EVIDENCE-DRIVEN RESEARCH CAPACITY. THE KCPM WILL BE ESTABLISHED AS A UNIVERSITY RESEARCH CENTER DESIGNED TO ENABLE COLLABORATIVE, INVESTIGATOR-DRIVEN TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND A DELIBERATE IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE PIPELINE CONNECTING MOLECULAR DISCOVERY TO CLINICAL EVALUATION, ENHANCING BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH THROUGH DIRECT SUPPORT OF ONGOING AND FUTURE TRANSLATIONAL AND HUMAN HEALTH-FOCUSED RESEARCH PROGRAMS ACROSS THE UOFL HSC CAMPUS. WE DEFINE “PRECISION MEDICINE” AS COLLECTIVE BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH EFFORTS AND CLINICAL APPLICATION OF HIGH RESOLUTION, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES THAT ENABLE PROVISION OF INFORMED CARE SUCH THAT EACH PATIENT CAN RECEIVE TREATMENTS PREDICTED TO CONFER THE HIGHEST EFFICACY WITH THE LOWEST RATE OF POTENTIAL ADVERSE EVENTS. THE KCPM IS FOUNDED ON THE RECOGNITION THAT ACCESS TO AND EXPERTISE IN CUTTING-EDGE MULTIOMICS TECHNOLOGIES AND NEW APPROACH METHODOLOGIES (NAMS) ARE A REQUIREMENT FOR HUMAN-CENTRIC BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRESS. OFTEN THE EVALUATION OF BASIC AND TRANSLATIONAL BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH DISCOVERY AS POTENTIAL TOOLS TO IMPROVE PATIENT ASSESSMENT AND/OR CARE IS INHIBITED BY INSTITUTIONAL SILOS AND LACK OF AWARENESS ACROSS THE RESEARCH-CLINICAL DIVIDE. THE KCPM AIMS TO REMOVE THESE BARRIERS BY DESIGN, THROUGH AN INTEGRATED RESEARCH CENTER THAT WILL ENABLE COLLABORATIVE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND DISCOVERY WITH A FAST-TRACKED ROUTE FOR IMPLEMENTING THESE NOVEL TOOLS, PRODUCTS, AND/OR PIPELINES IN CLINICAL RESEARCH AND ONGOING CLINICAL TRIALS. THE BLEEDING-EDGE DATA AND ANALYTICAL SYSTEMS PROPOSED HERE WILL POPULATE THE KCPM WITH THE TECHNOLOGIES NEEDED TO SUPPORT HUMAN-CENTERED, EVIDENCE-DRIVEN SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY AND IMPLEMENTATION ACROSS FOUR KEY AREAS THAT REPRESENT AREAS OF UNIQUE STRENGTHS OF THE UOFL RESEARCH AND CLINICAL COMMUNITIES: (I) CHRONIC DISEASE AND INFLAMMATION; (II) ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH; (III) RARE CHILDHOOD DISEASE; AND, (IV) CANCER. THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL AND REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE NORTON CHILDREN’S RESEARCH INSTITUTE AND THE ROBLEY REX VETERAN’S AFFAIRS MEDICAL CENTER, KCPM WORK WILL HAVE EXPANSIVE REACH ACROSS THE LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL COMMUNITIES, DRIVING COMMUNITY ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTH CARE AND SUPPORTING THE MISSION OF THE COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING (CPF/CDS) PROGRAM.
