NextGen Precision Health Institute

A group of researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine and NextGen Precision Health received nearly $1.2 million in research grants to address heart disease and obesity in veterans.

The study, published earlier this year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined how abnormal cells can develop and lead to diseases such as uterine cancer.

This will be the second research reactor to be built in Columbia, and is expected to cost more than $1 billion.

The study shows for the first time that even short periods of severe inactivity allow the buildup of proteins in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

A grant awarded to NextGen Precision Health Institute by the ALS Association will give $400,000 over 4 years to NextGen researchers to help them reach more rural patients.

Jaime Basnett is the ALS research program manager at NextGen Precision Health. She spoke about challenges rural ALS patients can face seeking care and what NextGen is doing to help.
