An Ulster University research unit, the Personalised Medicine Centre, represents the next step in medical science, developing treatments and clinical tools that take account of a person’s individual genetic and molecular constitution. By understanding the interplay of disease with the sequences, levels, and states of genes and other molecules within our bodies, we are creating a new generation of treatments and robust diagnostics to inform clinical decision-making across a range of chronic and degenerative diseases. Research and teaching go hand-in-hand in the centre, with more than 200 students now trained through our undergraduate and postgraduate courses and many working in the Biotech, Pharma, and Data analytics sectors or in academic research.

The centre combines deep expertise in disease pathogenesis, data analytics, biomarker discovery, and translational medicine to achieve this.
