Preparing Australia for Genomic Medicine: A proposal by the Australian Genomics Health Alliance [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Kathryn North (Principal investigator)

Brief description The sequencing of the human genome brings the possibility of more accurate identification of the underlying basis of many diseases. This technology has moved so rapidly, however, that clinical access has been limited. In this application, a national alliance of clinicians, researchers, health economists and policymakers will evaluate the case for clinical genomics across inherited disease and cancer, determine how best to deliver this to the patient and train a capable workforce.

Funding Amount $25,000,000.00
