<br>Short abs.:Novel precision medicine frameworks are casted across many
<br>levels of analysis and intervention. On the micro end are molecular-guided
<br>personalized treatments, on the macro end are cohort studies on
<br>populations. We invite papers focusing on meetings and alignments of
<br>multiple medical configurations.
<br>
<br>
<br>Long abs.:
<br>
<br>Medical strategies have evolved in the last two decades in an attempt to
<br>overhaul dominant evidence-based practices and achieve better medical
<br>outcomes, by customizing treatment and prevention strategies with higher
<br>and higher resolution. Far from being monolithic, this medical
<br>configuration is articulated across many levels. On the micro end of the
<br>spectrum are personalized practices focused on tailoring treatments to the
<br>specific needs, predispositions and unique molecular landscapes of the
<br>individual patient. On the macro end of the spectrum are epidemiological
<br>studies focused on whole populations, embodied in large prospective
<br>cohorts, which are often the framework of precision medicine programs (like
<br>the American All of Us Research Project, or the 100K Genomes Project in the
<br>UK). The underlying assumption of precision medicine is one of continuity
<br>between these two ends, where molecular individual characterizations lead
<br>to population-wide improvements and population genomic commonalities result
<br>in personalized therapies.
<br>
<br>Seemingly disparate, this range of approaches is characterized by the
<br>attempt to reshape both medical practice and its underlying epistemology,
<br>individual conduct and societal attitudes. Considering the promissory
<br>aspirations of the precision\personalized sociotechnical enterprise, we
<br>invite papers that critically engage with this multiplicity of analytical
<br>levels. We are particularly interested in examining to what extent and how
<br>these practices meet each other and 'hang together' to form a distinct
<br>assemblage. This can be approached through different levels of analysis,
<br>case studies and either empirical or theoretical inquiries.
