Hauptschule
Seminar
/
in englischer SprachePrecision Medicine is a concept for prevention and treatment that takes into account individual variability in genetic predispositions, environmental influences, and lifestyles. It gives rise to more accurate prevention and treatment strategies for particular diseases, instead of the traditional one-size-fits-all therapy regimes.
The seminar will examine the impact of individualized medicine on our resilience as humans in a world where so-called ‘diseases of civilization’ are mounting. It will also discuss the critical social challenges of delivering universal access to precision medicine.
