Tulane University-Ochsner Health Genomic Precision Medicine Program - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Tulane University / Ochsner Health Genomic Precision Medicine Program and its Health Education through Robust Omics and Individualized Care (HEROIC) mission will develop the next generation of biomedical researchers equipped with the latest tools to gather and analyze data to understand challenges and to deploy interventions to improve health conditions in our region. Our proposed predoctoral T32 training program includes a dynamic partnership between Tulane University and Ochsner Health in New Orleans, Louisiana that would be the first NHGRI-funded program located in an Institutional Development Awards (IDeA) state. The regional students seeking graduate studies Biomedical Data Science will provide a natural pool of candidates. The program will be anchored in the interdisciplinary PhD concentration in Biomedical Informatics within the Tulane University School of Medicine Biomedical Sciences Program. Students will be offered a world-class education in Biomedical Data Science with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) taught by faculty in the Tulane University School of Medicine's Division of Bioinformatics and Genomics. We have also identified a strong pool of world-class genomic researchers at Tulane University to serve as mentors for the trainees. Through regimented summer programs throughout the two-year training period, students will begin to interact and integrate with informatic researchers in the Ochsner Health System that will serve as co-mentors. Working with mentors from Tulane University and co-mentors from Ochsner, our trainees will identify health conditions in the local New Orleans region and design a genomic precision medicine project to be implemented. To achieve this, we are proposing the following aims: Aim 1 Data science and research methods: To prepare trainees for careers in genomic precision medicine by mastering data science and study design; Aim 2 Enhance resource availability for health conditions with genomic interventions in the New Orleans Region: To prepare trainees to identify health conditions that are feasible candidates for genomic interventions; and Aim 3 Training with sophisticated clinical informatics infrastructure and real-world health data: To foster a deep understanding of the technical system requirements to implement genomic precision medicine tools in a large, urban health system.
