Human-Veterinary Community Data Working Group

The Human–Veterinary Community Data Working Group is focused on connecting UGA’s precision medicine efforts with hospitals and communities across Georgia, especially outside the Atlanta metro area where access to cutting-edge biomedical infrastructure may be more limited. As shown in the figure, this requires linking two data cycles that are often kept separate: community, public health, and epidemiological data that define local disease burdens, and hospital-based precision medicine data focused on individual patients and clinical studies. In collaboration with CTSA partners, this working group aims to coordinate human and veterinary clinical infrastructure across Georgia to better understand the environmental, infectious disease, and community factors that shape health in both people and animals.

As shown in the figure, the Human–Veterinary Community Data Working Group also connects directly to the diagnostics, pathology, and drug-discovery working groups. Community and hospital networks define where patient needs are greatest, while the Bioinformatics for Diagnostics and AI Pathology groups help translate patient samples into genomic, molecular, and histopathological diagnostics. The Drug Discovery group then links those same samples to patient-derived drug testing. Together, these connections create a shared precision medicine pipeline: from Georgia communities, to patients and samples, to diagnostics, tissue maps, drug testing, and ultimately better care for both humans and animals.
