University Profile:
Apollo Hospitals Group (including Apollo Hospitals, Apollo Hospitals Education and Research Foundation and The Apollo University (TAU)) and the University of Leicester will be launching a new joint Centre for Digital Health and Precision Medicine (CDHPM) in January 2025.
The ambition of the Centre is to become an internationally recognised research centre in precision medicine and digital health by harnessing the research strengths and expertise of principal investigators of the University of Leicester and the Apollo Hospitals Group / TAU and the extensive longitudinal patient database of the Apollo Hospitals Group and health datasets in the UK and partners, to deliver better disease prediction and prevention, earlier detection and diagnosis and more effective and efficient management of multiple acute and long-term conditions in hospital and community settings. The focus of the Centre will be the use of advanced analytics, including AI, and the creation of digital solutions to advance its mission.
CDHPM will have hubs at the Apollo University in Chittoor and at the University of Leicester but will have a federated structure to enable researchers to access data and undertake research wherever they are based within the partner organisations. The Co-Directors of the Centre will be Professor Sir Nilesh J Samani, Professor of Cardiology at the University of Leicester and Dr Sujoy Kar, Chief Information Hospital, Apollo Hospitals.
CDHPM is now inviting applicants for the role of Deputy Director for the Centre based in Chittoor.
