The Jacques Loeb Centre for the History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences
<br>at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel is pleased to announce
<br>its next workshop, which will take place on *7 January 2019*.

<br>Successes and Challenges*.

<br>Focusing on cancer research, this workshop will highlight the motivation

<br>its diagnosis and treatment methodology with that of experiment-based
<br>molecular medicine and discuss its limitations including, for example, the
<br>extremely high costs for a small group of patients and the prevalence of
<br>multi-gene diseases and drug interactions.
<br>
<br>Speakers include leading experts on the topic, and just a few of talks
<br>include:
<br>
<br> - *Aaron Ciechanover, *Technion-Israel Institute of Technology
<br> “The revolution of personalized medicine: Can we cure all diseases and
<br> at what physical and ethical price?”
<br>
<br> - *Hans Lehrach*, Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics
<br> “Virtualized drug development for (truly) personalized drug therapy”
<br>
<br> - *Eva Winkler*, University of Heidelberg
<br> “Ethical aspects and policy tensions in personalized medicine”
