SAVING LIVES. PRECISELY.
The Greatest Breakthroughs in Medicine No Longer Begin with a Microscope.
They begin with a question.
Why does one person develop Alzheimer’s disease while another does not?
Why do two patients with the same diagnosis respond so differently to the same treatment?
Why do some people remain healthy despite extraordinary risk, while others become ill without warning?
At UCLA, we believe the answers lie in understanding the complete picture of human health.
By bringing together genomic science, clinical care, advanced computing, engineering, artificial intelligence, and one of the most diverse patient populations in the world, we are transforming how disease is predicted, prevented, diagnosed, and treated. This is precision health: delivering the right care to the right person at the right time, while discovering new ways to keep people healthier throughout their lives.
What makes UCLA uniquely positioned to lead this transformation is our extraordinary combination of scientific excellence, interdisciplinary collaboration, and diversity. Our physicians, scientists, engineers, and data experts work together across disciplines, fueled by one of the nation’s leading precision health research resources—the UCLA ATLAS Precision Health Biobank—which securely links genomic and clinical data to accelerate discovery. Because our community reflects the rich diversity of California, our discoveries have the potential to improve health for people of every background.
The impact extends far beyond any single disease. Precision health is advancing earlier detection of cancer, improving treatment for heart and neurological diseases, uncovering the causes of rare disorders, and helping physicians choose therapies that are more effective and more personalized. Each discovery builds on the last, creating a future where healthcare continuously learns, improves, and benefits every patient.
Realizing that future requires bold ideas—and the resources to pursue them.
Philanthropic support allows UCLA to invest in pioneering research, develop the technologies and infrastructure that accelerate discovery, recruit exceptional scientists, and translate promising breakthroughs into better care for patients and families. It helps move transformative ideas from possibility to practice.
Medicine is entering a new era—one in which healthcare is more precise, more proactive, and more equitable than ever before.
With your partnership, UCLA can help define that future, advancing discoveries that improve lives here in Los Angeles and around the world.
