Up Close and Personalised, International Congress

Date: from 02-02-2012 to 05-02-2012

City: Florece

Country: Italy

The main focus of the Up Close and Personalised Congress is to examine the essential clinical, genomic, proteomic, metabolomic, pharmacogenomic and biomarker data necessary to predict, prevent and treat major medical conditions concerning metabolism (diabetes and obesity), cardiovascular complications and cancer. In addressing the need and challenge for narrowing the gap between knowledge and clinical practice, one of the key themes will be to explore bio-informatic tools, algorithms, artificial intelligence techniques, decision support systems and other new platforms for predicting clinical outcome and better tailoring treatment modelling to the individual patient. Furthermore, as the patient is at the centre of the event's concern modalities to “empower” the patient will also be discussed.

The main topics of UPCP2012 will include:

Personalised Medicine Therapy: From theory to practice
Personalised Diagnostics platforms
Biomarkers – in Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disorders and Cancer
Genetics, Epigenetics and Nutrigenetics in the pathophysiology of diseases
Metabolomics and Proteomics
