Precision Medicine Pipeline

Working to discover and translate new blood-based biomarkers that enable early detection of pathology to reduce mortality and morbidity in CVD

We are a world class team of clinicals, researchers, bioinformaticians and policy makers, with a track record of discovery, innovation and translation. We intend to direct our skills and resources into a pipeline that is executable to improve the precise detection and treatment of CVD.

Themes

  • Arrythmia
  • Coronary Artery Disease
  • Heart Failure
  • Stroke
  • Sudden Death 

Goals

  • Minimise duplication of research
  • Improve collaborative gain
  • Build capacity
  • Build capability
  • Translation
  • Policy change
    • Health Economics of novel diagnostics, CAG and its role in better ID, Diagnosis, Standardized diagnostic criteria, Implementation Science
  • EMCR development
    • Embedding in overall capacity building, Sustainability, PhD scholarships
