Event Details

Personalized medicine promises to resolve many problems in drug discovery. Medicines given to heterogenous patient populations may be more effective if the more susceptible individuals are differentiated from non-responders or the hypersensitive. Several tumor subtypes can already be identified and correlated with the optimal therapeutics. This session will provide insights to how and why disease profiling and clinical trials could be done better. We will also explore how existing or new technologies are being applied to map and analyze genetic and tumor types so that treatment protocols can be optimized for the best outcomes.
