Precision medicine

Precision medicine is a paradigmatic change to leverage molecular information in diagnostics and therapy. The change is taking place now. Our aim is to develop algorithms and tools, as well as contributing to implement and facilitate uptake of this approach.

Principal Investigators:  Eivind Hovig and Ole Christian Lingjærde
