DESCRIPTION:Every day millions of people are taking medicines which are no
 t effective for their specific disease. Some widely used drugs are often t
 ruly beneficial only on a small percentage of the population.\nPersonalise
 d medicine aims to develop and prescribe medications that are active on th
 e one-patient\, focusing on the single person instead of a large study gro
 up.\nThis new frontier of medicine is taking into account genetic and envi
 ronmental factors among the others\, opening new perspectives for cancer a
 nd rare diseases as well as widely diffused disorders.\n\nAn evening event
  including talks\, a panel discussion and a networking session.\n\nKeynote
