Your DNA Can Help

Personalized Medicine is an evolving field made possible through leading-edge research projects such as NorthShore's Genomic Health Initiative. This study compares patient medical histories and clinical outcomes with genomic research to identify linkages to the most effective treatment options for the larger population.

Adult NorthShore patients can help by donating a small blood sample. Your sample allows NorthShore researchers to study your DNA in combination with research data obtained from your Electronic Medical Record (EMR). All patient DNA samples and data are de-identified and kept strictly confidential.

You can join in the Genomic Health Initiative by visiting NorthShore's Genomic Health Initiative or calling 847.492.5700 (Ext. 1120).
