UPMC, Carnegie Mellon University and University of Pittsburgh have entered this partnership.
UPMC will fund the alliance, and Pitt and Carnegie Mellon will lead research initiatives at new research centers that will be developed over the next six years. Researchers from all three institutions will be involved with the work.
UPMC Enterprises, UPMC’s commercialization branch, will also lead efforts to turn ideas generated by the alliance into for-profit companies and jobs.
“The complementary strengths of the alliance’s partner institutions will allow us to re-imagine healthcare for millions of people in our shared, data-driven world,” said CMU President Subra Suresh. “Through this collaboration, we will move more rapidly to immediate prevention and remediation, further accelerate the development of evidence-based medicine and augment disease-centered models with patient-centered models of care.”
