Clinical Research Workshop: Researching and Applying Precision Medicine in Hepatology
Recorded On: 11/09/2018
Precision medicine has the potential to completely revolutionize health care research and treatment – allowing doctors and researchers to more accurately predict which treatment and prevention strategies for a particular disease will work in individual patients or groups of patients vs. a one-size-fits all paradigm. This workshop will describe the importance of genomic and other molecular information to the delivery of individualized clinical care and identify challenges to implementation, help attendees associate clinically available tools in the diagnosis and management of chronic liver disease with emerging technology, illustrate a clear example of the utility and limitations of precision medicine approaches in hepatology and identify available resources to overcome limitations.
