Precision medicine aims to tailor disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment to the individual patient, based on their individual features extracted from multiple types of data (such as multi-omics, imaging, patient history, lifestyle and environmental factors).
Advances in screening platforms and the availability of big data are fueling the scientific progress in precision medicine, spanning the early stage of drug discovery all the way through translation into clinical practice. Adequate use of statistical and computational methods are critical to its successful implementation in clinics.
The Basel Biometric Section (BBS) and the European Federation of Statisticians in the Pharmaceutical Industry (EFSPI) are pleased to host a European scientific meeting on this relevant and far-reaching topic. The purpose is to bring together experts from the pharmaceutical industry, academia and the European regulatory bodies to present the current state of the art and discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead.
The seminar takes place on June 4, 2019 from 9:00-17:00
Venue: Actelion Pharmaceuticals, Hegenheimermattweg 95, Allschwil, Switzerland
