Past Events
The First International Summit on Interventional Pharmacoeconomics
Date: June 29-July 1, 2020
The high cost of medications is a major challenge for patients and healthcare systems around the world. The emerging field of interventional pharmacoeconomics (see recent paper in JAMA Oncology) identifies opportunities for lower doses, shorter treatment durations, increased treatment intervals, and the use of alternative agents. The aim is to use pharmacological and clinical knowledge to lower costs while maintaining equivalent health outcomes. This conference will bring together leaders in this field of research from the fields of pharmacology, health policy and economics, clinical medicine, clinical trials, and health care management.
The recording of the sessions can be found here at the ASCO Post.
U-PGx Personalized Medicine Symposium
Date: March 30-March 31, 2022
The U-PGx Personalized Medicine Symposium was organized, as a hybrid meeting, in Leiden, the Netherlands on March 30-31st, 2022. This international event is open for clinical pharmacologists, hospital pharmacists, general pharmacists, specialists, general practitioners, medical students, laboratory technicians, regulators, healthcare insurers and others interested in pharmacogenomics.
