The Stanford-EMBL: Personalized Health Conference addresses the promises and challenges of bringing systems biology research into medical practice. It assembles leading basic and clinical researchers to share and discuss the latest systems-wide data on:
- the molecular basis for health and disease,
- experimental models in which biomolecular systems-type approaches are developed and validated before bringing these approaches to humans, and
- clinical and ethical issues that must be considered in order to bring new approaches into the public health and clinical arenas.
This conference is jointly organized between these two institutions and offers an unusually rich opportunity to hear from, and interact with, leaders in the efforts towards molecular approaches to personalized health from all over the world.
