with the aim to exploiting genomic medicine in an evolutionarily-aware framework to advance personalized medicine solutions for disease prevention, diagnostics and treatment.
The vision of cGEM is to develop a centre with world-leading expertise in personalized medicine to manage the risks, prevention, and diagnostics of diseases for contemporary populations by considering the unique evolutionary history of the human genome.
This project will build capacity to:
apply a holistic approach to understand the evolutionary driving forces that have led to common diseases;
develop disease risk prediction models applicable in different populations,
and explore the means for translating these findings into suitable input for everyday clinical practice.
