Minority Serving Institutions

BIPOC veterans face preventable diagnostic blind spots because most genetic reference data underrepresents their ancestry. Population-specific genomics changes that by building ancestry-aware panels, harmonizing EHR + omics data, and engaging communities in consent and governance. The VA can convert uncertainty into actionable care. This long-form guide maps the challenge, the technology, and a practical pilot design to close the gap between genomic promise and the lived expe

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) isn’t out of reach for community clinics, small hospitals, or Minority-Serving Institutions. Phronetik’s collaborative, sustainable approach helps these organizations bring genomic sequencing in-house, turning health equity from an aspiration into a reality.

By applying next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics to soil and crops, Phronetik’s Precision Agriculture model equips small-scale farmers with the insights to boost yields, nourish communities, and drive equitable economic growth in regions historically denied innovation.

At Minority Serving Institutions, expanding biomedical research isn’t just academic – it’s a lifeline for underserved communities. From lab build-outs to AI-driven data, MSIs can pioneer discoveries that close health gaps and build the next generation of researchers.

Translational research isn't just a scientific process — it's a social imperative. For underserved communities, university-led clinical research can improve trust, build healthier futures, and transform healthcare outcomes. Here's how institutions can rise to the challenge.

Phronetik is redefining translational biomedical research by bringing precision medicine directly into underserved communities.

Precision medicine can close gaps and correct biases to deliver better health outcomes for every patient in every community.
