Projekt P4Health, który otrzymał finansowanie w ramach Teaming of Excellence Horyzontu Europa, skupi się na opracowywaniu i wdrażaniu rozwiązań niezbędnych dla rozwoju medycyny spersonalizowanej w Polsce. Pacjenci uzyskają dostęp do nowych metod diagnostycznych i tańszych terapii. Projekt potrwa 6 lat.
The main objective of the P4Health project is to develop solutions necessary for implementing leading concepts of personalized medicine and facilitating their use in everyday clinical practice in Poland. P4Health will be carried out through close cooperation between new and existing research groups at Łukasiewicz – PORT and European leaders in the scientific fields of oncology and neurobiology, additionally supported by external experts. These multidisciplinary working teams will use breakthrough technological platforms designed to cover all stages and dimensions of patient health assessment. This will improve diagnostic precision and enable the selection of effective individualized therapies, thereby enhancing the healthcare system while simultaneously reducing unit treatment costs.
A unique aspect of the P4Health project will be the experience of Łukasiewicz – PORT partners in preclinical and clinical research, on which the research and implementation plan will be based. The established consortium will have continuous and direct access to the knowledge and experience of leading European centers: CERBM in Strasbourg (France) and King’s College London (United Kingdom). As part of P4Health, the partners will develop coherent frameworks for implementing the results of basic research. These frameworks will combine the vision of participatory biobanking, advanced diagnostics, and comprehensive validation of therapeutic strategies. This approach is expected to enable effective generation of essential data and to increase the translation of research results into economic and social value. The use of artificial intelligence algorithms for the analysis and interpretation of medical data within the project will lead to structural changes in the healthcare system by increasing the availability and quality of medical data for entities developing new solutions in modern medicine.
The P4Health project will also serve as a unique forum for knowledge exchange through cooperation among scientists, clinicians, and representatives of industry. At the societal level, P4Health will become an expert forum for regulatory bodies, aimed at supporting interdisciplinary scientific initiatives, improving the functioning of the healthcare system, and mobilizing both the public and private sectors to increase funding for research. The Teaming for Excellence call is one of the most prestigious and valuable funding instruments available to research institutes under Horizon Europe. The P4Health consortium has secured EUR 15 million for a period of 6 years, of which nearly EUR 11 million constitutes the budget allocated to Łukasiewicz – PORT.
