ERA PerMed’s Final Symposium of the JTC2018 co-funded projects has just taken place in Cluj-Napoca – Feb 28 – Mar 1, 2023

Written by Mª Cristina Nieto. Posted in News

The first transnational call of ERA PerMed, JTC2018, was co-funded by the European Commission (EC) and in its framework, 25 projects were chosen to be funded with a total of approximately 25 million Euros. These projects involve 133 research groups from 18 different countries.

The overall aim of the call was to fund projects showing clinical feasibility of personalised medicine (PM) in various types of diseases ranging from complex/multifactorial diseases to monogenic diseases, including cancer, rare diseases, psychiatric disorders and more.  Clinical feasibility was defined in this call as the demonstration of significant and clinically relevant improvement of current diagnostics and/or therapeutics, based on improved understanding of underlying molecular mechanisms.

This Final symposium, which has taken place in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, is attended by 67 on-site participants, including researchers from the JTC2018 consortia, the ERA PerMed EC policy officer, representatives from funding organisations and scientific experts, as well as ~30 online participants. The symposium aims to provide the project coordinators with the opportunity to present and discuss their work and results, and promote interactions between the various stakeholders attending the meeting.

Furthermore, young researchers from the funded consortia were invited to communicate their research through a poster presentation and ten posters have been shown. ERA PerMed’s support and encouragement of young researchers is also demonstrated in the awards given to the winners of the best video competition and the best poster.

This event also serves as an opportunity to discuss the importance of patient and citizen involvement in PM research. A dedicated patient involvement panel was organised, presenting perspectives of the patients/citizens, the researchers and the funders.

Finally, this event also serves as a great opportunity for networking and fostering new ideas and collaborations, as well as presenting to the researchers the potential funding opportunities in PM field that can be fostered by the future European Partnership on Personalised Medicine (EP PerMed), which it is currently under preparation. 

The Symposium provided an excellent opportunity to learn about the outstanding results and outcomes of the JTC2018 EC co-funded projects, who managed to make admirable progress despite being greatly impacted in their work by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The story behind our personalised medicine research project – video competition

Written by Mª Cristina Nieto. Posted in News

Welcome to the best video competition for young researchers of ERA PerMed’s co-funded Joint Transnational Call 2018 (JTC2018) on personalised medicine!

This competition was launched by ERA PerMed to provide a platform for the young researchers participating in the JTC2018 ERA PerMed co-funded call to showcase the fascinating cutting-edge research that they are performing on prominent topics in personlised medicine, while collaborating with multi-national research groups.

See below videos from nine of the JTC2018 funded consortia and feel free to vote for them by “liking” their video on YouTube. Voting is open until November 25th at 12:00 CET.

3rd ICPerMed conference: “Prelude to the Future of Medicine”

Written by Mª Cristina Nieto. Posted in News

Announcement of the 3rd ICPerMed conference: “Prelude to the Future of Medicine” on October 5-6, 2022 in Paris

The International Consortium for Personalised Medicine is pleased to invite you to the ICPerMed Conference “Prelude to the Future of Medicine” on October 5-6, 2022 in person in Paris, France.

The conference will provide insights into what the future of medicine will look like by presenting concrete examples of personalised medicine approaches and aspects already in practice. The conference will demonstrate that implementation of personalised medicine is progressing through all disciplines and medical fields and aims to inspire other initiatives to adopt similar approaches.

Come and learn more about:

  • Incorporating patient’s perspective in personalised healthcare
  • The future of personalised medicine in clinical trials settings
  • Challenges in developing health data governance
  • Creating a sustainable innovation environment for personalised medicine
  • Health economic benefits – beyond cost-effectiveness

Confirmed speakers:

  • Laura Navne, The Danish Centre for Social Science, VIVE, Denmark
  • Jillian Hasting-Ward, Genomics England, UK
  • Eyal Zimlichman, Sheba Medical Center, Israel
  • Laura Esserman, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), USA
  • Markus Kalliola, TEHDAS, Finland

WEBINAR organised by EU-STANDS4PM and EUROPEAN COMMISSION: “Towards broadly applicable standards for in silico approaches in personalized medicine”

Written by Mª Cristina Nieto. Posted in News

WEBINAR:  “Towards broadly applicable standards for in silico approaches in personalized medicine”

EU-STANDS4PM and the European Commission are co-organising the webinar on Wednesday, 14 September 2022 from 14:30–16:30 (CEST) via ZOOM.

The webinar will provide an overview of the process and challenges of developing formal as well as community-based standards for predictive computational models in personalised medicine.

Topics covered include the development of ISO-Technical Specifications covering requirements and recommendations for the design, development and establishment of predictive computational models in the field of personalised medicine. A specific emphasis is put on collaborative research, such that health-related data can be optimally used for translational research and personalized medicine. The webinar will also focus on computational modelling workflows to enable clinical integrated decision support systems that can be used to enhance the accuracy and reinforcement of multidisciplinary decision-making processes.

A live question-and-answer session will allow participants the opportunity for real-time guidance and follow-up. If interested after the webinar, projects could have bilateral, exploratory meetings with EU-STANDS4PM.

Speakers include:

  • Martin Golebiewski, Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies HITS gGmbH, Germany
  • Marc Kirschner, Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Germany
  • Heike Moser, The German Institute for Standardisation DIN, Germany
  • Tito Poli, University Medical Center of Parma, Italy

The registration is free but mandatory; please register here: https://formulare.ptj.de/ec_eu_stands4pm_webinar

You will receive a link to join the webinar after completing the registration process.

The organising team is constituted by:

  • Christina Kyriakopoulou, Policy officer – Team leader Rare Diseases & Biotools, DG-RTD, European Commission
  • Marc Kirschner, Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Coordinator of EU-STANDS4PM
