An exciting roster of world-class researchers, both from Denmark and abroad is lined up for the third annual meeting of the Personalised Medicine Network, which takes place Wednesday 20 November in the AIAS-auditorium.

The event features a full-day programme of presentations, posters and flash talks – and as always, amble time for networking.

“With presentations covering everything from early-stage bladder cancer therapies to the use of CRISPR technology in understanding genetic diseases, this meeting will provide a deep dive into the future of personalised treatments. Whether you're a researcher, clinician, or healthcare innovator, I’m sure you'll walk away with valuable insights and connections,” says Professor Lars Dyrskjøt Andersen, member of the network steering committee and co-organiser of the annual meeting.  

This year’s program is full of leading experts who will share their latest research and advancements in personalised treatments:

  • Associate Professor Amir Horowitz from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai will open the day by presenting how multiomics can reveal mechanisms of resistance and response to BCG immunotherapy for early-stage bladder cancer.
  • Professor Christian Erikstrup from Aarhus University will share insights from the Danish Blood Donor Study, showing how large-scale immunological data can be leveraged to advance population health.
  • Professor Konstantin Khodosevich from the University of Copenhagen will delve into the world of psychiatric disorders, explaining how high-resolution omics can uncover disease mechanisms in these complex conditions.
  • Professor Kyung Min Noh from Aarhus University will showcase research on chromatin regulators using CRISPRi technology, shedding light on how these tools can be used to dissect disease mechanisms at the single-cell level.

"The future of healthcare depends on collaboration across disciplines and between researchers and research students at all levels. Meetings like this are where those collaborations begin. It's the perfect environment to network, share ideas, and spark new projects that could have real impact on patient care," says Professor Jacob Giehm Mikkelsen from the steering committee, who co-organises the event.
