Luminesce Alliance’s formed the Centre for Paediatric Precision Medicine in 2019 to successfully deliver an initial four-year Paediatric Precision Medicine Program funded by NSW Government and, with further funding, has evolved into the Current Research program.
This initial Paediatric Precision Medicine Program focused on early diagnosis and treatment for children, limiting long-term effects and reducing the burden on the healthcare system, funding a total of 18 Paediatric Precision Medicine research projects including seven Innovation Projects.
