Role of the laboratories in personalized medicine June 20 2015 Brussels Université Catholique de Louvain Under the auspices of International Association of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology Royal Belgian Society of Laboratory Medicine Role of the laboratories in personalized medicine Université Catholique de Louvain, Medical School, Brussels Avenue Mounier, B-1200 Brussels, Auditorium E Saturday June 20 2015, 13 h 30 -19 h Program: Personalized medicine is a fast and broad growing medical concept that proposes the customization of healthcare - with medical decisions, practices, and/or products being tailored to the individual patient. In this concept, laboratory medicine is often employed for selecting appropriate and optimal therapies based on the context of a patient’s genetic content or other biomedical properties (age, body weight, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, environmental factors…). Pharmacogenomics plays a major role in certain aspects of personalized medicine. In addition to technologies progress, personalized medicine also may raise ethical considerations which should be addressed. The Royal Belgian Society of Laboratory Medicine decided to dedicate one scientific day to this fascinating field, reviewing some aspects by international opinion leaders.
