Just one year ago, we welcomed state and national leaders \u00ad\u2013 including then-director of the National Institutes of Health Francis Collins \u2013 to Mizzou\u2019s campus for the grand opening of the Roy Blunt NextGen Precision Health building<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that short time, we\u2019ve made incredible research breakthroughs<\/a>, announced world-class hires (including Dr. W. David Arnold<\/a> as executive director of the NextGen Precision Health initiative) and continued to grow the facility\u2019s impact. Since Oct. 2021, we\u2019ve brought in $97 million in grants<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NextGen is also connecting students with the tools and expertise they need to launch groundbreaking careers in science. This semester, we welcomed our inaugural cohort of 16 students for the Translational Biosciences Graduate Program<\/a>. Across six emphasis areas, this program leverages NextGen\u2019s strengths to further biomedical research and improve the health of our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the coming years, we look forward to welcoming additional faculty, students and industry partners. We\u2019re also building out the fourth floor to serve as the future home of NextGen neuroscience and reproductive biology researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, we\u2019re revolutionizing how we deliver personalized health care for Missouri and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
