Stratified or personalised medicine helps patients get the right treatment at the right time.

This funding competition will help businesses access data modelling expertise in universities. This will enable the businesses to develop new diagnostic approaches and evaluate diagnostic products earlier.

It’s part of the Stratified Medicine Innovation Platform that’s funding a £50 million programme of research and development over 5 years.
