LabRoots' 4th Annual Precision Medicine Virtual Conference Features Preeminent Experts Exploring The Adoption and Utilization of Precision Medicine
YORBA LINDA, Calif., June 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- LabRoots, the leading scientific social networking website, offering premier, interactive educational virtual events and webinars, will be hosting its 4th Annual Precision Medicine Virtual Event on June 20th, 2019 featuring compelling discussions on the growth of precision medicine-based diagnostics, the history and future of the next-generation DNA sequencing revolution, systems pharmacology in precision therapeutics, the transformation of drug discovery, and the precision medicine initiative.
New hopes for the development of precision medicine research holds great promise. Precision Medicine is an emerging approach for reaching accurate diagnoses and effective treatment of disease and prevention and marks the beginning of this era to impact how physicians and patients understand disease and how patients are treated.
Planning Committee Member Tatjana Matejic added, "Precision medicine is slowly transforming clinical trials, routine clinical practice and the approach to discovery of therapeutic targets and drug development. Individualized patient's care requires multidisciplinary approach; it relies on application of advancements in science and emerging technologies and demands that medical and routine healthcare professionals keep abreast off new, constantly growing, research findings. LabRoots' virtual platform plays an important role in satisfying these demands and the informational needs of a diverse audience."
Join top researchers, clinicians and medical professionals in the healthcare and biotechnology sectors from around the world to learn process and technology refinements in the transforming field of precision medicine. Showcasing practical content and bringing together industry and academia leaders across the sector, this year's event will consist of 15 presentations, including two keynote deliveries from recognized speakers all whose work in personalized medicine has led to major strides in clinical implementation and research.
The symposium will kick off with keynote speakers, Dr. Adam Palmer, Systems Biologist, Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology, Harvard Medical School, sharing his insight on the impact of patient-to-patient variability on combination cancer therapy and precision oncology, and Khyati Shah, PhD, at University of California, San Francisco, offering cases of precision medicine in the drug discovery process and through precision combinatorial therapy to modulate therapy resistance.
Highlighting revolutionary areas including the concept of short reads versus long reads technologies utilizing parallel sequencing that will transform clinical practice, practicing an N-of-1 approach in the clinic, and understanding the challenges to implement precision medicine in an acute care setting round out this year's agenda.
Participants will have actionable takeaways from expert discussions Dr. Karen Albright, Associate Professor of Neurology, SUNY Upstate Medical University, Dr. Matthew Bainbridge, Associate Director of Clinical Genomics Research, Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Dr. Florence Comite, CEO and Founder, Comite Center for Precision Medicine, Dr. Seth Crosby, Director Scientific Collaboration, Department of Genetics, Washington University School of Medicine, Dr. Lee Gibbs, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Department of Translational Genomics, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Dr. Jonas Korlach, Chief Scientific Officer, Pacific Biosciences, Dr. Vishal Kothari, Research Assistant Professor of Urology, Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine, Dr. David Smith, Professor and Consultant, Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Mayo Clinic, Dr. Stephen Williams, Senior Scientist, 10X Genomics, and much more.
