Set up in collaboration with 4baseCare, the centre aims to usher in a new era of personalised medicine

Dr Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology recently inaugurated the Centre for Advanced Genomics & Precision Medicine at AIIMS Jammu.

Set up in collaboration with 4baseCare, the centre aims to usher in a new era of personalised medicine, leveraging cutting-edge genomic research to provide targeted treatment based on individual genetic profiles.

Underscoring the transformative potential of gene therapy, the Minister emphasised that with genomic advancements, doctors would no longer rely on a one-size-fits-all approach but would tailor treatments to maximise efficacy and specificity for each individual.

The newly launched Centre for Advanced Genomics & Precision Medicine places AIIMS Jammu among the frontrunners in India’s medical research landscape. By integrating genomic data with AI-driven diagnostics, the centre aims to enhance early disease detection, optimise treatment strategies, and reduce the trial-and-error approach in medical prescriptions. Experts at the event noted that this facility would be pivotal in advancing precision oncology, cardiovascular genomics, and genetic screening for rare disorders.
