Biomedical informatics
Australia’s ageing population continues to rise, placing strain on our existing healthcare system. Precision medicine describes a way of using the latest innovation to keep people healthier for longer. It offers the promise of better anticipating and preventing disease.
Our research focuses on tools that can quantify physical changes in our bodies to enable targeted treatment. We use advanced computational and statistical methods to help clinicians garner key insights about disease treatment and prevention. Our technology is used in a wide range of trials across the human lifespan and across the disease spectrum.
