Second Balkan Conference on Personalized Medicine

Organized by the Bulgarian Alliance for Precision and Personalized Medicine – BAPPM

In collaboration with the European Alliance for Personallised Medicine – EAPM, Medical University Pleven and Bulgarian Scientific Society of Human Genomics and Genetics

The underlying focus of the conference is to develop a framework that will enable the sharing of best practices on personalised medicine, and develop a coherent action for public-private regional collaboration between the relevant countries in the Balkans region.

The conference comes dovetails into EAPM’s SMART Outlook programme, now widely adopted, where ‘SMART’ stands for Smaller Member states And Regions Together.

SMART is an acknowledgement that much innovative work in healthcare occurs at such levels, and that cooperation and coordination between such cutting-edge parts of Europe is vital if personalised medicine is to be thoroughly embedded into the EU’s health systems.
