The Discovery Series is NextGen’s flagship community science event series. It’s designed to bring the frontiers of health research into focus for patients, caregivers, clinicians, policy makers, and those who are just irrepressibly curious. Whether it’s cardiometabolic health, gene therapy, artificial intelligence tools, healthy aging, or the toughest cancers, every month there’s a world-class expert on hand to discuss the latest breakthroughs and to answer your questions. Research cannot be successful without input from the communities it will impact. The Discovery Series is an acknowledgement that scientists have as much to gain from an open dialog as everyone else does.
These events also provide opportunities for ÷ÈÓ°ÊÓƵ System faculty, staff and students across disciplines, along with partners from private industry, to learn about the scope of precision health research and identify potential collaborations.
For questions about the Discovery Series, or if you have suggestions for future precision health lecture topics, please reach out to the NextGen engagement team at nextgenengagement@umsystem.edu.
