EASST conference Panel C26 -Precision Medicine at the Crossroads
3 more days to consider offering papers to our panel at EASST: <br>C26 -Precision Medicine at the Crossroads: Meeting the Micro and Macro, the <br>Molecular and Social in New Medical Strategies <br> <br>Deadline:14/02/2018 <br> <br>your convenors: <br> <br>Nadav Even Chorev (European Institute of Oncology) <br>Ilaria Galasso (European Institute of Oncology) <br> <br> <br>https://nomadit.co.uk/easst/easst2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6282 <br> <br> <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. <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
