Ryanne Wu on her path to precision medicine
Ryanne Wu, MD, MHS, Associate Professor of Medicine and faculty for the Duke Precision Medicine Program, knew she wanted to be a physician from a very young age. Now, at Duke, Wu is an internal medicine physician and health services researcher with an emphasis on precision medicine. She studies the implementation of precision medicine interventions with the goal of improving clinical care processes and outcomes. Wu is part of projects involving MeTree, a patient-facing family health history risk assessment platform designed at Duke’s Center for Applied Genomics and Precision Medicine, as well as the Veteran Affair’s Pharmacogenomic (PGx) Testing for Veterans (PHASER) program, which is working to complete PGx testing on up to 250,000 veterans by 2024.
