Dr. Lee Hood and researchers at Institute for Systems Biology pioneered the concept of medicine that is predictive, preventive, personal and participatory (P4). ISB’s exploration of scientific wellness and a systems approach to disease, along with its affiliation with Providence St. Joseph Health, one of the largest not-for-profit healthcare systems in the U.S., is accelerating momentum to transform the structure of modern healthcare, shifting from an almost complete focus on disease to a major focus on wellness.
