TRANSLATIONAL AND PRECISION MEDICINE:
FROM PATIENT TO CELL AND BACK
Technological advances in dissecting complex disease landscapes have catapulted scientists into the precision medicine era. The lesson of precision medicine might be that treatment should be personalized, as each patient features a unique disease’s molecular and immune landscape.
High-throughput methods in genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomics have significantly improved illness treatment and prevention, and precision medicine is nowadays revolutionizing the way drugs are developed, benefiting patients, the pharmaceutical industry, and the whole society.
In this meeting, internationally recognized speakers will discuss the state of art on prognostic, predictive, pharmacogenomic, or pharmacodynamic biomarkers as well as therapeutic targets in terms of precision medicine approaches. The scientific meeting will be accompanied by an industry and technical exhibition presenting the latest innovations in the field.
We believe that this program will attract the interest of both basic and translational researchers, as well as clinicians, offering the opportunity to exchange ideas in a friendly and stimulating environment. AICC would strive to offer opportunities to young scientists to be seen and heard by dedicating slots for oral communications and posters. The best works presented by young scientists will be awarded by special prizes.
Looking forward for meeting you,
