With uniquely individual DNA and different life circumstances we each have our own distinct health journeys through life. While we hope to grow old gracefully, our genes can help or hinder us as we encounter different germs and diseases along the way and eventually our bodies break down, whether we like it or not! 

Griffith University Researchers are at the forefront of developing personalised health innovations that harness our own genes to fight disease and that tailor prevention and treatment of as we age, as well as interventions to help prevent the global killer infections that can stop us dead in our tracks.
