Personalised medicine can be described as providing the right medicine, to the right patient, at the right dose, at the right time; in effect, it involves tailoring medical treatment based on the individual's biological data, needs and preferences throughout all the stages of care, including prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
UCL encompasses arguably the greatest concentration of biomedical science and personalised medicine expertise in Europe. The UCL Personalised Medicine Domain brings together over 750 researchers with an interest in the area from across the University, who conduct world-leading and ground-breaking work.
Our vision is to build upon our existing excellence by supporting and investing in cross-disciplinary research teams, in order to become the world's leading institution in this area. We plan to exploit UCL's potential for stratified therapies, leading to the realisation of 'precision medicine' and ultimately truly personalised care.
Underpinned by our strategy to align research, education and patient care, we aim to develop and maintain an internationally leading research profile in personalised medicine. In doing so, we are exploiting our growing informatics capacity; genomics and biomics capabilities and collaborations; and health economics perspective.
