PRECISE Project

PRECISE Project

PRECISE is a joint research program that aims to accelerate progress of Portuguese health care toward the new era of precision medicine. To achieve this long-term goal, an ambitious program is been implemented by interdisciplinary teams formed across 3 partner institutions with core research programs in Medicine (iMM), Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering (iBB), and Computer Science and Information Systems (INESC-ID).
iMM – Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes

The IMM is a leading Portuguese private non-profit research institute that offers a vibrant scientific environment, aiming to nurture innovative ideas in basic, clinical and translational biomedical research.
iBB - Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences

The Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences (IBB) is a research unit at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Universidade de Lisboa (UL), that aims to excel in research and advanced education in biotechnology, to respond to the challenges of exploring innovative approaches in biosciences and bioengineering and to translate scientific knowledge into tangible and impactful innovation.
INESC-ID - Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores, Investigação e Desenvolvimento em Lisboa

The INESC-ID is a leading Portuguese private non-profit research institute dedicated to advanced research and development in the domains of Information Technology, Electronics, Communications and Energy.
