Summit on Controversies in Precision Medicine is organized by Kenes Turkey and would be held during Nov 13 - 15, 2017 at Ameron Hotel Abion Spreebogen Waterside, Berlin, Germany.
Precision medicine aims to individualise therapeutic interventions, based on
OMICS data such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics etc’, profiling
together with histopathological insights to the type, stage, and the grade
of the disease, as well as on the potential response of a particular patient
to a particular treatment regimen. With next generation sequencing
technologies, it is now possible to identify all germline variants of an
individual at an affordable cost and thus paving the way for clinicians to
provide healthcare from an individual perspective. However, the data that
correlate specific disease type, response to specific treatment, and adverse
effects as a result of the treatment, are slow to come. There are also critical
voices warning us of getting lost in Big Data and advocating a stronger
role of physiological models and phenotypic data in drug R&D. Another
dimension of this debate is related to the way many companies manage
their precision medicine processes and strategies for developing a more
agile approach in the field.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
