Mayo Clinic has always been a destination for patients seeking answers. Now, to help usher in a new age of medicine that uses technologies like whole genome sequencing, philanthropists Cecilia and Dan Carmichael are donating $5 million to launch the Individualized Medicine Clinic at Mayo Clinic in Florida. Dan Carmichael says, “It’s really an exciting time.
