Precision medicine, learning health systems, and a growing scientific focus on phenomics.

Nelson PULSE Centre for Precision Medicine and Learning Health Systems carries forward that founding identity, expressed today through Phenomics: Unifying Learning, Science, and Evidence

The formal name honours the Centre’s founding mandate: advancing precision medicine while strengthening the connection between research, evidence, and learning health systems.

Susan Nelson

A transformational gift launched the Centre’s work in precision medicine, multimodal diagnostics, and digital health. Susan Nelson envisioned equitable access to diagnostic data and clinical decision support, a vision that now drives its phenomics focus.
