The Catholic Precision Medicine Research Center was established in 2017 with the goal of moving beyond the traditional medical paradigm of uniform treatment for all patients and advancing precision medicine tailored to individual patient characteristics.

The Center’s primary objective is to develop precision medicine technologies that enable personalized treatment, with a particular focus on developing AI systems capable of suggesting optimal therapies based on clinical and genomic big data for intractable diseases. It also analyzes and decodes the genetic information of emerging infectious agents to secure core technologies for rapid detection and therapeutic development, thereby addressing urgent public health challenges.

Additionally, the Center is actively engaged in developing data analysis technologies for the clinical application of precision medicine and in training experts in the field. Through these efforts, it fulfills its role as a comprehensive research and development institution dedicated to driving the next-generation medical paradigm.
