Advances in Precision and Personalized Medicine: March 14-15, 2019

** Deadline for applications for this workshop was January 30, 2019 **

Location

This workshop was held at SAS Hall on the campus of NC State University, Raleigh, NC.

Description

The purpose of the workshop was to bring together experts in industry, academia, and regulatory affairs to discuss current advances and future goals in the field of precision medicine. In alignment with SAMSI’s year-long Program on Statistical, Mathematical, and Computational Methods for Precision Medicine (PMED), the speakers ranged in topics from hospital care and workflow, pharmaceutical development, observational and real-world evidence, and regulatory developments.

The conference featured world-leading presenters from industry, regulatory, and academia. Speakers covered a range of healthcare industries including hospitals, home care, insurance, Big Pharma, CROs, biotech, and mobile health.

The workshop featured two round-table discussions:
1. Lessons and Challenges in Observational Health Data: A round-table debate on the work generated by the Observed Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) and the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics program (OHDSI). The panel was led by Rosa Gini (Agenzia regionale di sanità della Toscana, Florence, Italy), Miguel Hernan (Harvard), David Madigan (Columbia University), and Marc Suchard (UCLA).

2. Regulatory Advancements in the FDA: A panel discussion about recent developments in the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) and Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). The panel was led by Telba Irony (FDA CBER).

The workshop featured a presentation speed-session for researchers to introduce their work.
