Precision Medicine Technologies (PreMeT)
Precision medicine is an approach to tailor healthcare individually, on the basis of the genes, lifestyle and environment of an individual. It is based on technologies that allow clinicians to predict more accurately which treatment and prevention strategies for a given disease will work in which group of affected individuals. Key drivers for precision medicine are advances in technology, such as the next generation sequencing technology in genomics, the increasing availability of health data and the growth of data sciences and artificial intelligence. In these domains, 6 strong research teams of the UAntwerpen are now joining forces to translate their research and offer a technology platform for precision medicine (PreMeT) towards industry, hospitals, research institutes and society. The mission of PreMeT is to enable precision medicine through an integrated approach of genomics and big data analysis.
