The Roy Blunt NextGen Precision Health Building unites talented investigators from across the UM System with a cutting-edge research facility dedicated to solving our most pressing health concerns. Designed to empower interdisciplinary collaboration as the cornerstone of the initiative, the building provides the collaborative nexus for activity focused on speeding the path to new treatments and making them accessible to people in need, faster than traditional bench-to-bedside methods.
The NextGen building is the single largest research investment on campus, spanning four stories and 265,000 square feet. The goal is to bring crucial lab research into new life-changing interventions, medicines, technologies and treatments that are designed to improve an individual’s health based on conditions arising from unique genes, environment and lifestyle.
