Personalized Medicine Roadmap: Paving the Way to Realizing Its Full Potential

Personalized Medicine has enormous potential to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Turning Personalized Medicine into an opportunity for citizens and patients requires the commitment of international stakeholders to define common approaches, standards, and priorities for research and development. The European Union and China are world leaders in the field of Personalized Medicine. The IC2PerMed consortium has developed a roadmap and identified facilitators and barriers for cooperation between Europe and China, creating common ground for a wider implementation of Personalized Medicine. During the webinar, international experts will discuss the best approaches to facilitate international collaboration and sharing of best practices paving the way for realizing Personalized Medicine's full potential.Confirmed Speakers:<ul><li>Chairperson: Prof. Bettina Borisch, Executive Director, WFPHA.</li><li>Prof. Walter Ricciardi, WFPHA Immediate Past President and Full Professor of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.</li><li>Dr Anant Jani, Oxford Martin Fellow, Oxford Martin School, University of Oxford.</li><li>Prof. Stefania Boccia, Full professor of Hygiene and Public Health, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.</li><li>Prof Denis Horgan, Executive Director of the European Alliance for Personalised Medicine (EAPM).</li><li>Dr Hui Ruitai, Cardiologist, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences FuWai Hospital &amp; National Heart Center of China.</li></ul>This is a free event - registration required.This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 874694.<aside>By registering for the Webinar, under all relevant data protection legislation and according to the <a href="https://www.wfpha.org/images/WFPHA_Privacy_Policy.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WFPHA Privacy Data Policy</a> you are informed and consent to the following points:</aside><aside>- This webinar will be live-streamed and recorded and this recording used as deemed appropriate by the Organizer;</aside><aside>- You will be put in the Delegates’ mailing list, the Organizer may send you e-mail messages it feels may be of interest to you (e.g. invite you to other events organized by the Organizer);</aside><aside>- The Organizer communicates with you by email and may use your personal information for the internal purposes which will include accounts processing and internal analysis of delegates;</aside><aside>- The Organizer can disclose your contact information to contractors who provide services in respect of the Webinar, but these parties are not authorized to distribute, sell or rent users information;</aside><aside>- You have the right to withdraw your consent from WFPHA communications at any time.
