Welcome Message
On behalf of Sidra Medicine, we invite you to the 6th annual PMFG Symposium which will be held in Doha, Qatar, on September 23-26, 2022. Over the years, the PMFG series has grown significantly in topics and diversity with a wide range of speakers and a growing audience worldwide. The event will be preceded by an outstanding Pre-Symposium Biotech Forum on 22 September, 2022.
As part of its National Vision 2030, Qatar is committed to building a knowledge-based economy in the biomedical and health sciences. Sidra Medicine supports this goal by actively engaging clinical and scientific expertise to establish a leading model for Precision Medicine in the region. In line with this vision, PMFG 2022 will bring together researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and community members to explore the latest developments and innovations in biomedical research and how they translate into precision medicine solutions.
Join us to discover how Personalised Medicine can move from vision to practice and to draft with us the roadmap for a personalized health data ecosystem.
Dr. Khalid Fakhro, Chief Research Officer
Event Chairs
- Chiara Cugno, MD, Director, Advanced Cell Therapy Core
- Luis R. Saraiva, PhD, Director, Laboratory of Neurometabolism and Functional Genomics
Precision Medicine takes individual variations in genetics, pharmacogenomics, proteomics, microbiome, environmental, lifestyle factors, and others into account, allowing health care providers to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Dr. Khalid Fakhro, Chief Research Officer
PMFG 2022 is a four-day in-person symposium with pre- and post-conference workshops, and a satellite half-day meeting centered on two major themes:
- How cellular, organoid, and animal models are being used to facilitate the discovery of basic disease mechanisms and potential cures
- The development of advanced therapies to treat diseases
- Researchers
- Physicians
- Bioinformaticians
- Clinician-researchers and scientists
- Genetic counselors
- Students
- Nurse practitioner and physician assistants
- Lab professionals
- Pharmacists
- Allied Health
- Public Health
- Public Policy
- Biotech Industry
At the end of the Conference, the participants will be able to:
- Learn about coordinated efforts to develop Precision Medicine around the world and specifically in the Middle Eastern region
- Learn about best practices for conducting successful Precision Medicine Clinical Trials
- Learn how advanced diagnostics and personalized treatments improve the quality of care for children with rare and chronic diseases (I.e. immune deficiency, hemoglobinopathy, cancer, etc.)
- Understand the value of using cell, organoid and animals as disease models in biomedical research and learn about modeling of human tissues and diseases
- Understand how large-scale data resources and genome sequencing and novel technologies are driving precision medicine
