Emory Healthcare and Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC) formed a partnership, the Alliance for Predictive and Personalized Health, in December of 2007. Initiated by Dr. Fred Sanfilippo, the chairman of Emory Healthcare and the former head of OSUMC, the initiative aims to enhance health care at the patient level with genetic breakthroughs and information technology improvements. Focusing on areas such as research management, clinical trials, and database sharing, the partnership will bridge operations at OSU's Center for Personalized Health Care and the Emory/Georgia Tech Predictive Health Institute, which Emory formed in 2005 with the Georgia Institute of Technology.
