P4 medicine shapes the future of healthcare

Tampere University and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology are at the forefront of P4 medicine, an approach to healthcare that is predictive, preventive, personalised, and participatory.

Through research, education, and societal engagement, Tampere University and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology advance P4 medicine across all four of its dimensions.

P4 medicine offers opportunities to integrate high-quality research, emerging technologies, and patient-centred approaches to reshape healthcare and support longer, healthier lives. In parallel, P4 medicine improves the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare while helping to manage costs.

The successful implementation of P4 medicine relies on the development of computational models, analytical methods, digital infrastructures, and data resources. These are among the key strengths of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology.

The work carried out in our research centres advances P4 medicine

TamCAM

At the TamCAM research centre, researchers develop effective and impactful approaches to improving the health of children and young people from the prenatal period through young adulthood. Their research focuses on the prevention of cardiometabolic diseases, autoimmune diseases, obesity, and psychiatric disorders, as well as the role of participatory medicine in prevention.

CMP

The CMP research centre focuses on strong basic research. The CMP has its critical mass around three themes: gene regulation, molecular biophysics and cell signalling. The centre investigates the molecular mechanisms that provide the foundation for the prevention and treatment of diseases.

CeliRes

The Celiac Disease Research Centre (CeliRes) focuses on gluten-related disorders, with a particular emphasis on coeliac disease. Researchers seek to advance personalised treatment strategies and prevent the development of the disease. Ultimately, their goal is to predict who is at risk of developing gluten-induced health problems and when these problems are likely to emerge.
 

FCRCT

At the Finnish Cardiovascular Research Center Tampere (FCRCT), researchers seek to improve our understanding of the factors underlying the development of cardiovascular diseases. They also develop diagnostic methods for the detection of cardiovascular diseases and their complications. The centre aims to identify predictive biomarkers and develop personalised treatment strategies.
