Based in the Universitys Old Royal Infirmary, the new facility will accommodate the pharmacogenetics team who will work alongside partner NHS organisations to collect clinical information from patients in hospitals across the North West. The team will focus on several priority research areas including toxicity and efficacy of drugs used to treat infections such as HIV.
Philanthropic gifts from individuals and organisations are expected to generate a further 5 million towards new equipment and staff at the Centre. The Wolfson Centre for Personalised Medicines will open in 2009.
