The Future of Genomic Medicine X

The 10th Future of Genomic Medicine conference will be the next iteration of taking genomic knowledge to transform the daily practice of medicine. To do this, we have patients present their story of how genomics affected their medical status, and have an international faculty of experts in genomics, science and medical journalism, and the life science industry provide critical perspective. The overarching goal of the conference is to spearhead efforts to use genomic knowledge to change medicine and make it far more precise and individualized.

After attending this live activity, participants should be able to:

• Demonstrate the unmet needs of medicine today with respect to more targeted, individualized prevention and treatments.
• Discuss the opportunities of the genome, proteome, metabolome discovery to change medical practice as it exists today.
• Assess how changes and advances in technology are rapidly ushering in a whole array of new pathways for individualized medicine of the future.
• Explore specific strategies in cancer, idiopathic and pharmacogenomic futuristic interventions.
