SUMMARY:How St. George Became the Epicenter for a Major Global Genetics Study
DESCRIPTION:Intermountain Precision Genomics is saving lives by changing the way diseases are being treated. Through its global genetics study\, Intermountain is learning how to target disease with very specific treatments. \n\n\n\nIntermountain Precision Genomics leverages the power of next-generation sequencing and other genomic technologies to enable translational research\, the clinical implementation of precision medicine\, and the measurement of patient outcomes. Providing a multidisciplinary approach across oncology\, cardiovascular medicine\, behavioral medicine\, pediatrics\, and primary care.\n\n\n\nHow did St George become the epicenter for such advanced research and medicine? Join us for a special luncheon where Travis Sheffield will give us the ins and outs of the lifesaving work being done right here in our backyard!\n\n\n\nProfessional change agent Travis Sheffield has led various teams through highly complex projects and is skilled in bringing together disparate groups to synergistically complete a common goal. He has served as an effective coach and mentor for many\, and thoroughly enjoys connecting with others to help them accomplish more than they dreamed could be possible.\n\n \n\nTravis loves Southern Utah\, and has lived here since 1991 when he attended Pine View High School. After an extensive tour of 7 colleges and universities he discovered his love of leading teams and finally settled in on a major. Upon completion of his MBA from Southern Utah University he was recruited to teach for 8 years as a college professor at Dixie State University\, then later at BYU-Idaho.\n\n \n\nTravis served the local community as an adult leader in the Boy Scouts of America for 14 years and thoroughly enjoyed taking his Troop of 25 scouts camping every month and Summer camp every year. His love of achieving lofty goals is manifest in his completion of several very challenging endurance events like Ragnar\, LOTOJA\, the Boston Marathon\, and multiple Ironman races. Outside of work\, he can be found scaling a mountain\, descending a canyon\, or racing to the finish line of some running or biking challenge.\n\n \n\nWith over 17 years of healthcare management experience Travis currently serves as the Operations Director for Intermountain Precision Genomics by leading the HerediGene Population Study throughout  Utah\, Idaho\, and soon in Nevada!
