èßäapp the NextGen Discovery Series

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 non-scientists do. 

These events also provide opportunities for èßäappSystem 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. 

Links for upcoming events and recordings for previous talks are available on the Discovery Series page. Information on continuing education is available below. 

For questions about the Discovery Series or if you have suggestions for future precision health lecture topics, please reach out to Mackenzie Lynch at lynchmm@health.missouri.edu.
