• Best practices of poly-pharmacology treatment in the elderly population
• Integration of personalized genomics, proteomics and clinical phenotyping
• Identification of biomarkers for early diagnosis, prognosis and personalized therapies
• Molecular re-classification of disease thereby optimising P4 medicine and drug development
The aim of the European Association of System Medicine (EASyM ) is the implementation of Systems Medicine in European clinical research and healthcare.
EASyM has been initiated by the European FP7-funded Coordinating Action Systems Medicine (CASyM, www.casym.eu). EASyM is a charitable association open to everyone with an interest in personalised medicine and systems medicine. The association strives to integrate all relevant stakeholders, including clinicians, researchers, medical and patient organisations, industry, funders & policy makers. EASyM organises annual conferences, offers training in Systems Medicine, and provides regular updates about Systems Medicine development and findings, among many other activities.
EASyM was founded on 30th September 2015 in Brussels by 27 medical doctors, researchers and health care stakeholders from 12 different countries.
At the 1st Conference of EASyM, cases of successful usage of Systems Medicine will be presented, as well as talks and tutorials about big data, omics, bioinformatics, doctor and patient involvement as well as compliance with privacy regulations. Key note speakers include Leroy Hood, MD, PhD, Co-founder and Chairman of the P4 (predictive, personalised, preventive, participatory) Medicine Institute, Seattle, USA and Dame Janet Thornton, PhD, former director of EMBL-EBI. The conference is aimed at basic and clinical researchers in academia and industry who want to apply Systems Medicine approaches to address unmet clinical needs.
Dr. Charles Auffray, Chairman of EASyM, says: 'The European Association of Systems Medicine (EASyM) is now set to transform into a concrete action plan the road map of the Coordinating Action CASyM to implement Systems Medicine in Europe. This will be achieved in pilot projects tackling unmet medical needs through systems approaches of biological processes across organs and pathologies, leveraging European biomedical and ICT infrastructures. EASyM is committed to ensure that Europe speaks with a unified voice on the international scene to foster the development of the proactive and personalized medicine of the future.'
