Professor Stephen Kevin Smith is the Dean, (Faculty of Medicine Dentistry and Health Sciences ) at the University of Melbourne and Chair of the Melbourne Academic Centre for Health. The University of Melbourne is a key partner in Australia’s largest and best biomedical precinct. University departments can be found in more than 10 of the best hospitals in the city of Melbourne and the University has strong partnerships with formidable research institutes such as the (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute ) and the (Murdoch Childrens Research Institute ). In partnership the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct draws together over 10,000 researchers and provides excellent care to almost half a million patients per year. It is the intention of the University to use this strength to uncover the fundamental biological mechanisms behind disease – to alter current paradigms in biomedical research and have a profound impact on both individual care and global health. The goal is to move from personalized medicine, which we currently do very well, to the realization of precision medicine – delivering the benefits of international collaborations and ‘big data’ to individual care. Prior to taking up the position of Dean, Professor Smith was Vice President (Research) at the Nanyang Technological University which led the review of a Singapore Stratified Medicine effort focused on Diabetes and Oncology.
