PERSONALISED MEDICINE - thematic mini-conference with matchmaking
The mini-conference organized on October 26-27 in Romania and hosted by the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Carol Davila UMFCD in Bucharest was already the third event organized by Alliance4Life, which aimed to share research ideas of intellectual origin in Central and Eastern European countries and to create the opportunity for matchmaking with the pharma and meditech industry.
The conference and trigger event has been organized together with the yearly University Congress, celebrating together the great values of cooperation within a higher education network and increasing research and administrative capacity in an Eastern and Central European academic environment.
Both events were opened by the project's coordinating representative from UMFCD, Professor Iuliana Ceausu, together with the rector of the university, Professor Viorel Jinga, the vice-rector for scientific research, Professor Simona Ruță, the vice-deans for scientific research of the four faculties of UMFCD and the health advisor to the President of Romania, Professor Diana Loreta Păun.
The speakers and participants were scientific leaders in the field of personalized medicine, which represents an effective way to improve individual health based on family history, personal medical data, and genetic information. The aim of the participants was to create and strengthen a community of specialists, bringing together health professionals from different fields.
Focusing on whole-person patient-centered health, uniting the Alliance4Life community, and bringing together healthcare professionals not only from Europe but also from the US and New Zealand, this Conference has attracted more than 50 participants from the most prestigious universities and institutes which are either partners in this project or essential guests of this conference and hopefully future partners in beautiful collaborative projects, more than 30 oral presentations of health professionals from all disciplines, who are committed to advancing personalized and integrative medicine and healthcare.
The healthcare field continues to move from the inefficient, one-size-fits-all-patient medicine of today, toward the data-driven and personalized medicine of tomorrow.
