What is precision healthcare?

Precision healthcare considers a person’s unique characteristics – genes, environment & lifestyle – to be able to better identify illnesses and to develop more effective treatments & monitoring tools.

What is precision healthcare?

Through PHURI, we aim to deliver on three healthcare priorities:

  • Prediction
  • Precision
  • Prevention

By better predicting what conditions a patient might develop or understanding how a disease might evolve, we can treat it more effectively. Through earlier and improved medical intervention, we can prevent people from becoming unwell in the first place and by developing personalised, targeted medicines, we can dramatically improve patient outcomes.

We will build on our strong engagement with our local communities and expertise across all our faculties to determine how best to deliver these interventions and ensure our research has social benefit and impact.
