About this event
Precision Medicine for Immunological Disorders will be a unique and illuminating symposium by international experts, including those from the Immune Dysregulation Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Keynote speakers include Mark M. Davis, PhD, Director of Stanford Institute for Immunity, Transplantation and Infection, and Jean-Laurent Casanova, MD, PhD, head of the St. Giles Laboratory of Human Genetics of Infectious Diseases at the Rockefeller University. Speakers will detail recent advances in precision medicine for children with immunological disorders and the basic science behind these approaches. This full-day event is open to clinicians, researchers and others who care for patients with complex multi-organ immune diseases. In this seminar, attendees will gain an understanding of:
- How to leverage cytokine or other multiplex immune assays to make patient decisions
- Effective use of novel immune modulator therapeutics
- How to use genetic data to make diagnoses and predict how a patient may respond to certain treatments
