Many diseases begin developing years before a diagnosis is made. During this time, the body undergoes biological changes that often go unnoticed.
Precure Research is a Mayo Clinic initiative focused on studying how health changes over time and how disease begins. By bringing together biological samples, health information and advanced technologies, researchers hope to uncover patterns that were previously impossible to detect. The Precure Research studies are part of a large, long-term observational research program designed to understand how diseases begin before symptoms appear. Researchers aim to identify early biological, genetic, environmental and lifestyle signals that may predict future illness and enable earlier prevention or treatment.
