Life and Matter Sciences International Symposium March 29, 2016 Madrid

General information

Venue: Fundación Ramón Areces Vitruvio, 5 28006 Madrid

Organized by:

Fundación Ramón Areces

In cooperation with:

Royal National Academy of Medicine and the BioEuroLatina Association

Coordinator/s:

Albert SassonPresident of BioEuroLatina. Madrid. Spain

Description
Programme

Since the publication of the human genome in 2003, much was expected from possible applications in the field of medicine and more generally a better understanding of human physiology including nutrition and pathology. We now start to collect more knowledge about human genes and the effects of mutations, for example in the field of cancer. In fact, advances have gone beyond knowledge of human genome, epigenome and transcriptome. Science has advanced as well in the knowledge of human proteome and metabolome. The advance in this so-called Omic Sciences have led to the development of diagnostic and therapeutic tools which enable what we call today Precision Medicine.

This Simposyum is sponsored by the Fundación Ramón Areces under the auspices of the Royal National Academy of Medicine and the BioEuroLatina Association. It brings together scientists involved in many ways for the bettering of public health.
