My City Lab-Talk Series Webinar: AI Delivering Personalised Medicine

Our second meeting of 2020 will focus on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used in the field of genomics to help to develop personalised medicines and treatments to improve patient outcomes. AI has come a long way in health care and it has many different uses, one of those applied to genomics, by identifying individuals' phenotypes and genotypes health care professionals can offer personalised medicine, tailoring the right therapeutic strategy for the right person at the right time. AI can also determine an individual's predisposition to a disease, offering him/her timely prevention. The concept behind personalised medicine is to customize therapies to ensure they are tailored for patients based on their own unique genomic profile. But the cost of processing and storing every citizen's fully sequenced genome might be significantly costly.
