Webinar series: Precision Public Health 2021

• Department of Precision Health

Join us in our free webinar series and deep dive into the field of Precision Public Health. Our internationally recognised speakers will present their latest research in four webinar sessions from November 16 to December 7, 2021.

In Public Health, Epidemiology, or Clinical Research, the ultimate objective is essentially to deliver the right intervention to the right person, at the right time. To achieve this, we can now rely, in our digital and data-driven world, on an increasing volume of data generated by populations and patients. This massively impacts the way we conduct research, with many opportunities but also many challenges ahead of us, which will be discussed during this webinar series.

How can we use real-life data to better characterise populations and patients, according to their environment, their lifestyle, their biological characteristics, to design better-tailored preventive strategies and more personalised treatments? The answer to this and much more will be the topic of discussion during our webinar series.
