Klinikum+/ An Intro to Precision Medicine for absolute beginners

In the past, medicine was often a "one-size-fits-all" approach, where doctors used treatments designed for the "average" patient. Today, groundbreaking research is flipping that model on its head.

Join us for an accessible and intriguing introduction to Precision Medicine—the revolutionary approach that promises to treat you, not just your disease.

This lecture will demystify the complex science behind personalized healthcare, explaining how doctors and researchers are leveraging powerful tools like genomics, AI, and digital health data to create medical treatments and prevention plans unique to your body.
