The University of Ulster has recently established an exciting new £11.5M Northern Ireland Centre for Stratified (Personalised) Medicine and is committed to its development as an area of excellence. The new Centre will draw together biomedical scientists, molecular biologists, biologists, doctors and computer scientists from academia, the health service and industry in their efforts to better diagnose and treat degenerative diseases including hypertension, diabetes, inflammatory disease, bone disease, neurodegenerative disease/mental illness, cancer and diseases of the eye.

The new Northern Ireland Centre for Stratified Medicine will be an integral part of, and aligned with the Institute for Health and Wellbeing based at the Magee Campus and the School of Biomedical Sciences at the Coleraine campus. The major strength of the BiomedicalSciencesSchool and Research Institute resides in its vibrant research ecosystem, teaching and learning environment and its internationally acclaimed expertise in molecular biology, biomedical science, molecular medicine, pharmacy and nutrition, with strong links with the health service, national, and international industry.
