Precision Child Health aims to prevent or delay diseases in healthy children. When children do get sick, Precision Child Health will offer care that is precisely tailored for the individual child.
Tackling these complex issues, and Precision Child Health, requires experts from a range of disciplines, working collaboratively, armed with genetic, behavioural, environmental and clinical information to better understand the various factors underpinning the disorder in each individual.
At Murdoch Children’s we have the required breadth and depth of expertise, and a wealth of data to find the answers. We are embarking on an ambitious Precision Child Health program to connect the wealth of research and clinical information that harnesses the latest technological developments.
Our six strategic initiatives are connecting our clinical and community trials, integrating genomics and stem cell medicine into standard health care and using valuable data from large population studies both here and abroad to better understand and improve the health of children today.
