The Centre has been highly successful in applying advanced biological technologies and analytical methodologies to help increase our understanding of the biology of human disease. On the foundation of consumer and community involvement, this approach, combined with psychosocial, environmental and lifestyle factors, can help predict an individual's risk for disease, rate of progression and treatment response.
The Centre has three programs focusing on applying a precision health model to our key health priorities: Cancer, Neurological conditions and Chronic and metabolic conditions.

Our research focuses on developing liquid biopsies for melanoma, lung cancer, and other cancers, as well as the discovery of new treatment targets through the application of innovative cutting-edge technologies.
Our research aims to improve diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention strategies and responses in Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and other neurological conditions, with emphasis on the role of genomics and environmental factors.
Our research focuses on the glycome and global health, as well as preclinical conditions between health and disease, to establish screening and monitoring tools for chronic diseases and metabolic conditions.
