Providence Health & Services has joined forces with the Institute of Systems Biology (ISB) to offer clinical care focused on keeping patients healthy, using analytics to predict, prevent, or detect the onset of disease before clinical symptoms develop. In March, Providence became affiliated with the not-for-profit ISB, located in Seattle and founded by systems biologist Leroy Hood, immunologist Alan Aderem, and protein chemist Ruedi Aebersold. The partners aim to provide insights into wellness and disease by generating dense, personalized clouds of billions of data points from proteome, metabolome, and gut microbiome analyses taken from each patient and tracked over time. Hood will serve as senior vice president and chief science officer of Renton, Washington–based Providence, a not-for-profit healthcare provider, whose services include 34 hospitals and 600 physician clinics across Alaska, California, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Providence and ISB will pursue a number of joint projects, including analyzing people at risk of Alzheimer's disease over time, helping breast cancer patients return to wellness following therapy, and uncovering new glioblastoma treatments.
