    April 2-3, Istanbul
    Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,

    I would like also to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to each of you, speakers, Eu-PIC members, organizing committee, Scientific/Education committee, organizing secretariat and sponsors for valuable contribution and for agreeing to participate in International Symposium on ADVANCES IN PREDICTIVE & PERSONALIZED MEDICINE” at Acıbadem University in Istanbul. Your valuable contribution and enthusiastic participation made this program a reality. I really believe that your enthusiastic and encouraging participation in this program help accelerate clinical uptake and application of Predictive & Personalized Medicine into mainstream healthcare in this this post-genomics era.

     

    Many thanks to Acıbadem University to have welcomed this program at sumptuous campus in Istanbul. Once again, I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to Prof. Ron HN van Schaik for his very precious and very painstaking help, for his constant encouragement to the state of the art this program. Looking forward to seeing you again in the near future Türkiye.

    My kindest personal regards to all of you, On behalf of the organizing committee

     

    Candan HIZEL, PhD; Program Co-Chair
