The Jacques Loeb Centre for the History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences
at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel is pleased to announce
its next workshop, which will take place on 7 January 2019.
The workshop is titled, Personalized Medicine: Concept, Promises,
Successes and Challenges.
Focusing on cancer research, this workshop will highlight the motivation
for, and historical development of, personalized medicine. We will compare
its diagnosis and treatment methodology with that of experiment-based
molecular medicine and discuss its limitations including, for example, the
extremely high costs for a small group of patients and the prevalence of
multi-gene diseases and drug interactions.
Speakers include leading experts on the topic, and just a few of talks
include:
- Aaron Ciechanover, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology
“The revolution of personalized medicine: Can we cure all diseases and
at what physical and ethical price?”
- Hans Lehrach, Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics
“Virtualized drug development for (truly) personalized drug therapy”
- Eva Winkler, University of Heidelberg
“Ethical aspects and policy tensions in personalized medicine”
