Australia’s first personalised medicine clinic for immune diseases has opened at Canberra Hospital, offering tailored treatment for patients with complex conditions.
The Centre for Personalised Medicine is a partnership between the Australian National University and Canberra Health Services and will treat conditions including inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatological disorders and kidney disease.
The clinic uses genetic, immunological and environmental information to help diagnose patients and develop targeted treatment plans.
The centre will also work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia to identify new treatments for kidney disease.
