The expert panelists will discuss the obstacles and opportunities for such services today as well as within the next 15 years.
“Over the past decade, personalized medicine has moved from science fiction to clinical reality,” said Dave Titus, president of the San Diego Venture Group. “Care is being tailored to the individual and drug treatments prioritized by how likely they are to work. The question now is will the health care system embrace it and how best to protect one’s genetic privacy from discrimination. The discussion will be engaging and insightful. We’re looking forward to it!”
The panelists will include:
• Trista Morrison, Moderator of the event and Writer for BioWorld Today.
• Joe Beery, Senior Vice President/CIO at Life Technologies.
• Alex de Winter, Partner with Mohr Davidow Ventures.
