About the conference
Following the successes of our previous events on pharmacogenomics, biomarkers and stem cells, SMi is proud to present its inaugural conference on Personalised Medicine.
Taking place in London, UK, this conference will look at the latest in science, R&D, business strategies and legal issues for developing personalised therapeutics, and successfully introducing them to the marketplace.
Covering various approaches towards developing personalised therapeutics - biomarkers, pharmacogenomics, pharmacogenetics and stem cells, the conference will introduce both a pharmaceutical industry and a diagnostics industry perspective on the best way to move forward with developing companion diagnostics, marketing strategies, reimbursement issues and making personalised medicine viable in a commercial marketplace.
Issues considered during the conference will include:
- Should pharma develop companion diagnostics internally, partner, or acquire diagnostic technologies?
- Is co-development the best method for companion diagnostics?
- What is the regulatory perspective on stratified and personalised therapeutics?
- How can the industry be creative with partnering strategies?
- Can current blockbuster drugs be repositioned as personalised medicines through resequencing?
- How do we identify and validate biomarkers for personalised medicines?
- Are pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics the right way forward?
- How far can stem cell technologies be used to personalise therapeutics?
Why not attend the associated workshop as well?
Associated with the conference there will be a half-day interactive workshop on "What's Holding Personalised Medicine Back - How Can We Move It Forward?", taking place on 13th October. It will cover biomarker validation and qualification, clinical trial design and analysis for personalised therapeutics and intellectual property, ethical and policy issues. This will be led by Shawnmarie Mayrand-Chung from the Biomarkers Consortium at the US National Institutes of Health.
