The next installment of the NextGen Precision Health Discovery Series, titled “Advancing the University’s Research Mission through Multidisciplinarity in Biomedicine,” will be held virtually at noon on Thursday, August 19. The speaker, Christopher Contag, PhD, is the founding director of the Institute for Quantitative Health Sciences & Engineering (IQ) and the inaugural chair of the new Department of Biomedical Engineering in Michigan State University’s College of Engineering.
In this presentation, Dr. Contag will describe the IQ and its formation, highlight the science that has developed from the institute, and discuss best practices for building centers of excellence that extend the breadth and depth of Michigan State’s research and educational mission. The institute is devoted to basic and applied research at the interface of life sciences, engineering, information sciences, and other physical and mathematical sciences.

The NextGen Precision Health Discovery Series provides learning opportunities for UM System faculty and staff, the statewide community and our other partners to learn about the scope of precision health research and identify potential collaborative opportunities. The series consists of monthly lectures geared toward a broad multidisciplinary audience so all can participate and appreciate the spectrum of precision health efforts.
