Translational and Personalised Medicine: from bench to the bedside

10.04.2019

The Summer School is a joint program generated by the cooperation between the Department of Surgery, Oncology and Gastroenterology of the University of Padova and the Centre for Personalised Medicine of the University of Oxford. It will take place on June 17 - 21, 2019 in Padova (Palazzo Bo and Orto Botanico).

Translational medicine (TM) is an interdisciplinary branch of the bio-medical field supported by three main pillars: "benchside, bedside and community". The main objective of the school is to discuss state-of-the art translational research to enhance the knowledge of clinicians and scientists aiming to cope with the complexity of TM's current challenges.

In the simplest terms, personalised, precision or stratified medicine aims to deliver the right treatment, to the right patient at the right time. Identification of the right patient population has been enhanced through advancing technologies in genomics, disease model systems, population health image analysis and many other data science driven paradigms.

This course takes up that challenge and provides aspiring translational scientists with insights, tools and competences to navigate the difficult track from bench to bedside. Crucial is obtaining a systemic perspective on science and complemented with multiple skills. The course empowers participants to become successful translational scientists, especially in the fields of gastroenterology, regenerative medicine and oncology.

20 postgraduate students will be admitted to the Summer School: 10 places are reserved for postgraduate students from the University of Oxford, 10 for postgraduate students from the University of Padova.

Application deadline: April 15, 2019
