Centre for Personalised Medicine

Welcome to the Centre for Personalised Medicine podcast, where we explore the promises and pitfalls of personalised medicine and ask questions about the ethical and societal challenges it creates. The Centre for Personalised Medicine (CPM) is a partnership between the University of Oxford’s Centre for Human Genetics and St Anne’s College, Oxford. The Centre’s principal aim is to explore personalised medicine from a range of perspectives. In the pilot series, we interviewed members of the CPM’s advisory board about their careers and their views on personalised medicine. In our second series, we spoke to researchers in the Clinical Ethics, Law and Society group at Oxford and Southampton to hear about their work exploring different ethical and societal issues within personalised medicine. In our upcoming series, we’re taking a look at the themes in the CPM’s new ten-year strategy, which look at the different domains in which personalised medicine operates, and considerations relevant to all areas of personalised medicine (https://cpm.ox.ac.uk/strategy/).
