HCI is home to the Utah Population Database (UPDB), an exceptionally powerful research resource that links data from medical records, genealogy records, and demographic data for eleven million individuals. UPDB is the largest database of its kind in the United States. This information helps researchers identify genetic patterns of cancer in families and inform research in precision cancer prevention and personalized cancer treatments. Through UPDB, HCI researchers have contributed to the development of targeted therapies and become leaders in genetic counseling to reduce cancer risk.
