The registration of the first conference 'Personalised Medicine in Action' of the International Consortium for Personalised Medicine (ICPerMed) is now open. The conference will take place in Berlin, Germany, on November 20-21 and will focus on best practice examples for successful implementation of personalised medicine approaches.
The ICPerMed conference 'Personalised Medicine in Action' is organised by the ICPerMed and is supported by the European Commission, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the German Federal Ministry of Health.
An opening statement will be given by Jean-Eric Paquet, Director-General of the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) of the European Commission. Best practice sessions on research and implementation will give successful examples for translation of personalised medicine research into an added value for the patient. This will be done in a comprehensive approach, giving room for representatives of all relevant steps to describe their views and experiences, e.g. researchers, clinicians, payers, patients. Further sessions will encompass examples for policy making and impact analysis on personalised medicine research from the ICPerMed member states. For a broader perspective, these best practice examples will be complemented by high-level key note talks on different aspects of personalised medicine. Confirmed speakers can be taken from the preliminary programme.
More information on the ICPerMed conference can be found on the ICPerMed website.
The conference is open for all stakeholders in personalised medicine, e.g. scientists, funders, decision-makers, regulators, patient organisation representatives. Interested parties can register now.
