About
The Centre for Personalised Medicine (CPM) receives referrals for patients living with complex or difficult to treat immune disease.
The Centre is a partnership between The Australian National University (ANU) and Canberra Health Services (CHS).
The CPM program is nationally at the forefront of developing and delivering personalised medicine for immune diseases.
The Future of Medicine is Personal
The Centre for Personalised Medicine (CPM) is redefining how complex autoimmune diseases are treated. Diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Lupus, and Myositis affect millions, yet conventional treatments often assume every patient is the same, and this approach often leads to ineffective outcomes and significant side effects.
The CPM seeks to identify and understand the cellular and genetic basis of an individual's illness with the aim of developing personalised treatments.
The Vision of CPM
To revolutionise the care of patients living with immune-mediated diseases through personalised diagnosis and treatment.
CPM does this by:- Unlocking the unique genetic signatures that drive individual autoimmune conditions.
- Developing and using cutting-edge technologies to understand the root causes of complex diseases.
- Turning these discoveries into personalised treatment plans perfectly tailored to each patient.
The CPM's unique combination of world-class facilities and scientific expertise in genetics, protein biology, immunology, and medicine makes it the only one of its kind in Australia.
Personalised Medicine Clinic in Canberra
The Centre for Personalised Medicine (CPM) is not only a research centre, but also directly connected to patient care through a specialist clinic based at The Canberra Hospital.
The CPM clinic gives patients living with complex autoimmune conditions access to:
- Comprehensive diagnosis using state-of-the-art genetic and molecular testing.
- World-class expertise from clinicians and researchers working side by side.
- By embedding research within the hospital setting, we ensure that scientific discoveries are rapidly translated into better care for patients living in Canberra and beyond.
