Professor Eddy Karnieli will talk about applications of
personalized medicine in healthcare.  Personalized medicine
allows us to determine an individual's unique genetic and
molecular characteristics and use this to better diagnose and
treat diseases and reduce possible adverse reactions.
Personalized medicine can also be used to predict an individual's
susceptibility to diseases, enabling steps to help avoid or
reduce the extent to which an individual will experience a
disease.
