Course overview

The rapidly advancing high-throughput molecular techniques allow the determination of the molecular "fingerprint" of each individual, facilitating personalized diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Precision Medicine aims to enable the selection of the most effective, safe and targeted treatments for each patient, utilizing the knowledge and tools of Genomics and Personalized Medicine.

Precision Medicine is transforming modern medical practice.

The "Precision Medicine" course aims to provide trainees with the necessary knowledge on the new tools available (e.g. molecular / pharmacogenetic tests, biological therapies), the many new applications in the different medical specialties, and importantly how/when to use them in clinical practice.

It is our pleasure to welcome you to this Course!
