The Many Faces of OPEN Innovation in Science

Future of Precision Medicine Symposium 2022

The Future of Precision Medicine Symposium series was launched in 2021 with great success; we are now excited to announce the second edition: The Future of Precision Medicine Symposium – 2022. The Symposium marks major innovations in precision diabetes medicine from cutting-edge research through clinical implementation.The discovery of insulin 100 years ago was a true breakthrough and lifesaver in the treatment of people with diabetes. However, despite being around for a century, insulin and other means of treatment, often deployed in a one-size-fits-all manner, still fail to take most people to a level of control that normalizes morbidity and mortality. Precision medicine, the tailoring of disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment strategies based on an individual’s genetics and other biomarkers, lifestyle and environment, does just that, by helping optimise medical decisions.
