ATLAS Precision Health Biobank

ATLAS (Precision Health Biobank) 

The UCLA Institute for Precision Health (IPH) serves as a nexus for interdisciplinary collaboration across the David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM), UCLA Health System and the University. In 2016, in collaboration with the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), the IPH launched the ATLAS Community Health Initiative (ATLAS) to engage a diverse sample of patients across UCLA Health in precision health research. The goal was to create a powerful and robust clinical and genomic data resource for cutting-edge translational research. ATLAS aims to enroll at least 150,000 patients into the UCLA Precision Health Biobank. Genetic information from this large-scale collection of diverse patient biospecimens is integrated with de-identified clinical information from the patient medical record and made available to UCLA approved researchers.
