Oncology Precision Project AArhus
About
The Oncology Precision Medicine Project Aarhus (OPRA) is a cutting-edge research initiative focused on advancing cancer treatment through the use of precision medicine.
The project, starting in 2017, uses advanced genomic sequencing and bioinformatics technologies to analyse tumor and blood samples and identify the specific genetic and molecular abnormalities that drive each patient's cancer.
By analysing these unique characteristics, the project aims to develop individualised treatment plans for each patient that target the underlying mechanisms of the disease, improving efficacy and minimising side effects.
The project is based at Aarhus University Hospital and involves collaboration between clinicians, researchers, and industry partners to accelerate the translation of precision medicine into clinical practice.
