OUR MISSION

The University of Puthisastra focuses on skills for the 21st Century of Health and Technology.  Biotechnology is the combination of biology and technology.

Our world is changing rapidly and health is taking the lead. We are witnessing an explosion in health innovation, from MRI to robotic surgery, with genomics and personalized and predictive medicine opening up exciting new frontiers that will revolutionize future healthcare.

Personalized medicine will:

  • predict and prevent disease allowing much more effective and efficient targeting/screening etc.
  • determine the correct drugs and the correct dose
  • offer increasingly personalized treatments
  • embrace a more participatory role for patients in their care

In the future, personalized medicine will gather together a mass of biological, clinical, and lifestyle information to present health professionals with a unique picture for each patient and thus tailor make treatment options specific for that patient.

Laboratory technology will be at the heart of genomics and personalized medicine – it’s where new tests get developed, tests get performed and analysis is undertaken.

Join us and let us create the future together.
