Project description
Fostering EU-China cooperation on personalised medicine
Moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach, personalised medicine has the potential to tailor therapy to achieve the best result for each patient. The aim of personalised medicine is to improve diagnosis and treatment of diseases and strengthen prevention strategies by taking into account the patient’s geno- and phenotypes as well as biomedical, lifestyle and environmental factors. The personalised medicine approach to healthcare has been gaining ground in Europe and China. For that reason, the EU-funded SINO-EU-PerMed project will conduct a mapping of the personalised medicine landscape and stakeholders in China. It will also exchange expertise by organising study visits in China and the EU. Further on technical task forces and a series of targeted workshops will be organised to promote communication and collaboration between experts in the field of personalised medicine in China and the EU. Sino-EU-PerMed aims at connecting International Consortium for Personalised Medicine (ICPerMed) strategies and activities with relevant Chinese stakeholders. ICPerMed is a member state driven initiative of over 40 international ministries and funding agencies.
Objective
Personalised Medicine (PerMed) approaches bring along immense potentials to improve diagnosis and treatment of diseases and prevention strategies by taking into account individuals' geno- and phenotypes, biomedical, life style or environmental data. The International Consortium for Personalised Medicine (ICPerMed) is a member state driven initiative of over 40 international ministries and funding agencies. The European Commission (EC) is an active observer and supports by funding several related projects. ICPerMed aims at aligning efforts in all areas of PerMed by fostering international coordination of research and innovation funding.
To support these efforts “Widening Sino‐EU policy and research cooperation in Personalised Medicine” (Sino-EU-PerMed) aims at connecting ICPerMed strategies and activities with relevant Chinese stakeholders. To achieve this goal the Sino-EU-PerMed will disseminate and coordinate the following activities. Inventory and analysis of the PerMed landscape in China via a mapping. In addition the Sino-EU-PerMed consortium will exchange expertise and experts by workshops and via delegation trips in China and Europe. Thereby we will gain a better mutual understanding of PerMed activities and related cultural aspects and health economy issues. By establishing technical taskforces and running a series of targeted workshops Sino-EU-PerMed will promote international standards and pave the way for future communication, collaboration and undertakings. Therefore the implementation of a dissemination plan is part of the project.
Our consortium and activities aim at maximising the unique and long-term impact PerMed approaches in cooperation and in alignment with ICPerMed. The cooperation with China set up and planned in Sino-EU-PerMed will allow ICPerMed to further strengthen Europe's leading role in this area and contribute to a successful implementation of PerMed in the global context and foster joint PerMed projects between Europe and China.
