Precision medicine is significantly changing the way therapies are being developed, benefiting patients, the pharmaceutical industry, and the society.
The Malaysian Association of Cancer Research (MACR), which was established back in 2017, quickly saw the importance of precision medicine and aspired to create a global platform for sharing of recent research findings of this field in relation to drug discoveries and translational medicine.
Building upon the success of the inaugural International Conference of Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine (ICDDTM’18), which had attracted approximately 270 delegates from local and abroad, the Malaysian Association of Cancer Research (MACR) and its collaborators will once again join hands in organizing the 2nd International Conference of Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine 2020 (ICDDTM’20) from 1st – 3rd December 2020.
In keeping abreast with the recent emergence of innovative technologies in precision medicine, the organisers have set the conference theme as “Advancing Precision Medicine with Emerging Technologies: Bridging Gap Between Academia and Industry.”
The conference will feature its plenary and invited talks based on 4 major areas:
– Cancer
– Microbiome therapy
– Mental health/neurodegeneration
– Stem cell therapy
A total of 6 conference tracks have been identified for oral and poster presentations:
– Cancer
– Cell therapy
– Inflammatory diseases
– Mental health/neurodegeneration
– Metabolic diseases
– Miscellaneous
