In February 2019, Federal Government awarded Murdoch University AUD 10 million in support for the Murdoch Australian National Phenome Centre (ANPC) which works to put Western Australia at the forefront of worldwide precision medicine research.
Eeva Leinonen, Vice Chancellor of Murdoch University, recognised the Federal aid for this crucial WA-collaborative project as a substantial investment into the health of the future generations in the state, country as well as for millions of people around the world. “This ground-breaking research will revolutionise the way in which many challenging diseases and health conditions are diagnosed, treated and prevented,” Professor Leinonen said. “The ANPC will put WA and the nation on the global stage, pioneering research that will translate into transformational benefits across human health, animal health, agriculture and food,” Professor Leinonen added.
Professor Leinonen opined that Murdoch University prides itself in spearheading this critical collaborative project facilitated by ‘Team WA’ partners across industry, medical research institutions, universities, government and hospitals. She noted, “We also look forward to working closely with the Federal and State Governments and our national and international partners as the ANPC leads Australian metabolic phenotyping research and promotes Australian scientific strength through global engagement.”
The ANPC will facilitate researchers to study and explore the complex interaction and influence of genes, lifestyle, the environment and diet on human health, aiding them to better predict, prevent and treat complex conditions and diseases including cancers, diabetes, obesity and dementia.
