“Medical revolution supported by Genomics”: important conference in L’Aquila on 4 June.
The Rotary Club L’Aquila has organized an important scientific conference on genomics to be held Tuesday 4 June at 4.30pm in the ANCE auditorium with the patronage of Municipality of L’Aquila, the University of L’Aquila, the ASL1, the Provincial Order of Surgical Doctors. Among the technological revolutions that are transforming life, business and the economy of the planet, those in the field of molecular biology, in advanced genomics and geneticsfor the direct impacts they will have across broad areas of life science with the potential to radically transform the understanding of human biology and improve the lives of millions of people.
The sequencing of the complete human genome, thanks to Human Genome Project, in 2003, represented one of the greatest innovations in the field of genomics, opening the door to revolutionary potential in how we understand and approach human biology and medicine. The ability to better attack serious diseases and genetic malformations, personalized therapies based on an individual’s genetic profile, the ability to analyze large genomic datasets to identify genetic variants and response to drugs, the ability to predict genetic diseases before they manifest themselves and the important ethical and moral issues related to privacy and genetic discrimination are fascinating and complex issues on which the Rotary Club of L’Aquila offers a reflection in a conference debate with authoritative experts in the sector on the topic, such as: Dr. Rosa Persia , President Rotary Club L’Aquila, Prof. Edoardo Alesse, Rector of the University of L’Aquila, Dr. Francesco Brancati, Professor of Medical Genetics and Director of Medical Genetics at the San Salvatore Hospital of L’Aquila, Dr. Chiara De Luca , Medical Geneticist, UNIVAQ Research Fellow, Dr. Mattia Capulli, Biotechnologist, Professor of Embryology and Histology at UNIVAQ and co-founder of Dante Labs srl, Dr. Patrizia Masciovecchio, Specialist in Forensic Medicine, former director of UOC Medicine Legal ASL 1 Abruzzo, Prof. Luciano Mutti, Professor of Oncology at UNIVAQ, Head of Oncology UOC San Salvatore Hospital ASL 1, Dr. Franco Papola, Director UOC Regional Center for Immunohematology and Tissue Typing ASL 1, Dr. Vincenzo Salpietro Damiano , Professor of Paediatrics, Director of the Specialization School of Paediatrics and UNIVAQ Pediatric Clinic and Dr. Maria Scimitarra, Medical Director of the UOC Regional Center for Immunohaematology and Tissue Typing ASL1.
