In the spotlight

Precision medicine and precision public health is integral to the Cumming School of Medicine. Western medicine is poised for a transformation in the way we diagnose and treat disease as a result of advances in genomics, imaging and data analyses. We aim to provide Albertans with access to individualized prevention and treatment plans that mean better outcomes with fewer risks - bringing the future of medicine to Alberta.

We’re currently hiring 25 new scientists into precision medicine. It’s such an exciting time to not be average. Join us on this journey as we work to change the way we look at medicine.
