Systems medicine, personalized health and therapy

Area of Science:

• Biomedical Sciences
• Pharmacogenomics
• Systems Biology

Background:

• The 7th Santorini Conference gathered 200 international participants to explore advancements in systems biology and omics technologies.
• The conference focused on the influence of omics technologies on personalized health and medicine.

Framework:

• Presentations covered 'From systems biology to systems medicine/pharmacology,' 'Omics/translating pharmacogenomics/proteomic biomarkers/metabolomics,' and 'Human nutrition and health/personalized medicine.'
• Discussions emphasized the integration of systems biology approaches and omics data for tailored healthcare solutions.

Implementation:

• The event featured 60 oral presentations and 103 posters divided into 'systems medicine and environment' and 'pharmacogenomics and cancer' sessions.
• Organized by INSERM U1122, IGE-PCV, and Biologie Prospective, with collaboration from ESPT and support from major international organizations.

Implications:

• The conference stimulated dialogue on translating research findings into clinical applications for personalized medicine.
• Outcomes are expected to drive innovation in pharmacogenomics, diagnostics, and targeted therapies, improving patient outcomes.
