ABOUT the SYMPOSIUM

We welcome you all to the “Galen Medicine Days-2024: Precision Medicine in Health and Disease International Symposium” which will be held on October 3-4, 2024 in Izmir, Türkiye.

With the completion of the Human Genome Project and the rapid development of modern medical technology, modeling of patients' genomic, proteomic and even social-environmental information with data science and personalized medicine applications have gradually begun to be used in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Especially in the last 10 years, there is a promising shift in cancer treatments towards personalized therapies that are more effective, more efficient and have fewer side effects, indicating that personalized medicine studies will be at the focus of the scientific world in research and clinical applications in the very near future.

Galen Days-2024: Precision Medicine in Health and Disease Symposium, held by Izmir Tinaztepe University at Izmir Ataturk Cultural Center on October 3-4, 2024, will bring together leading international and national scientists, researchers, academicians, medical experts, clinicians and industrialists working on precision medicine to discuss the latest research, current challenges and future perspectives of the field. More than 300 researchers, clinicians, industry representatives and students from Türkiye and abroad are expected to attend the symposium.

This 2 days-symposium will start with the Keynote Speech titled as “Precision Medicine in Oncology: From Impressive Progress To Emerging Challenges” by Prof. Dr. Dominique Bellet, one of the founders of NETCANCER and CANCER CONSULT data banks in France. In the following six sessions, leading international and national scientists conducting research and clinical practices in the field of personalized medicine and have made global contributions to this field will share their studies and current developments in preventive, early diagnostic and treatment practices in health and disease. Additionally, early career scientists will find opportunity to present their studies in the field of precision medicine as oral or poster presentation during the Symposium and selected abstracts will be eligible for scholarships and awards.
