About

Following the success of 2022’s events, the Oncology Conference and the Precision Medicine Conference is BACK and running on two consecutive days. Join Bionow, expert speakers and industry colleagues to discuss the current oncology landscape on day one and the future of precision medicine on day two.

The prevention of cancer and the development of more effective strategies for early-stage detection, when treatment may be most effective, remain critical societal goals. Precision medicine is the next generation of healthcare research that has the potential to provide significant, targeted benefits to patients, and effect strategic shifts in the way healthcare is delivered. Bionow is pleased to once again present a two-day event to explore the relationship between these two areas of healthcare and facilitate a more in-depth programme, including talks, panel discussions and networking opportunities.

Oncology
The oncology portion of the conference will cover the issues surrounding prevention and early diagnosis, new approaches to cancer research and treatments of the future, followed by a look at patient perspectives and rare cancer research. We will hear from experts, organisations and patient advocacy groups. 
 
Precision Medicine
The second day of the conference will focus on the impact precision medicine is having on patients in the detection, treatment and prevention of diseases and how we are developing this approach in an efficient and sustainable way. Topics will cover a state of the nation discussion, a deep dive into precision medicine in chronic and rare diseases, and patient perspectives.
