About International Precision Medicine Forum organized by IDIVAL

The International Precision Medicine Forum organized by IDIVAL began on February 14, which intends to review, from the perspective of different specialties and fields of knowledge, the main aspects related to clinical research and precision medicine.

For its first phase, the program currently has almost a hundred talks planned, given by national and international speakers who are leaders in their field, who will review the main challenges and aspects of clinical research. A program endorsed by the ITEMAS platform and the Biobanks and biomodels platform of the Carlos III Health Institute and the Spanish Society of Clinical Pharmacology  and which has the collaboration of scientific societies, more than 60 international institutions and the support of 8 large pharmaceutical companies. till the date.

Liver disease is one of the leading causes of lost years of working life in Europe, second only to ischemic heart disease. And, without a doubt, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most frequent cause of chronic liver disease in our environment. Progress in the prevention and treatment of NAFLD is closely linked to the understanding of this disease from the pathophysiological and clinical point of view as a basis for a better definition of risk factors, the establishment of adequate predictors of disease progression, the definition of new biomarkers. and the individualization of therapy adjusted to the characteristics of each patient. This module will review the main advances in this disease by some of the world’s leading specialists in this field. Without a doubt, a course that will allow us to dive deep into this disease.

This program offers a qualitative leap in the training of precision medicine and clinical research, thus offering advanced knowledge of the research process.
