The Centre for Precision Health and Translational Medicine is an interdisciplinary, collaborative hub for clinicians, basic scientists, computational biologists, medicinal chemists, physiologists and stem cell biologists, working in unison.
The centre's work covers cross-cutting themes focused on the:
- Investigation and understanding of the human disease pathophysiology through the application of systems biology methodologies integrating multi-omics outputs, molecular biology techniques and genome editing methods in human induced pluripotent stem cells as in vitro models
- Identification of potential therapeutic targets from studies for drug discovery, design and delivery with the end point being robust Phase 1 clinical studies
- Promotion of interdisciplinary research groups with patient outcomes and therapeutic benefits as our focus, enabling ‘bench to bedside’ translation
- Establishment of platform-based technologies to enable the clinical efficacy of novel therapeutic approaches
- Training and long-term development of the next generation of researchers keen to study the biological sciences and application of precision medicine for patient benefit
- Stimulation of public private collaborations to accelerate a start-up culture in the biotechnology and precision medicine sector within the region.
