Over Two Dozen Top Experts Gather in Hangzhou to Shape the Future of Precision Medicine

In January 2015, U.S. President Barack Obama proposed the “Precision Medicine Initiative” in his State of the Union Address, after which “precision medicine” became a hot topic in the global health sector.

Soon thereafter, China’s Ministry of Science and Technology convened the nation’s inaugural expert conference on precision medicine strategy and unveiled the Chinese Precision Medicine Plan, which earmarked RMB 60 billion in funding to support the development of the precision medicine industry by 2030. In October of the same year, precision medicine was included as a major special project under China’s 13th Five-Year Plan for scientific and technological development and elevated to a national strategy.

Today, a new global wave of technological revolution and industrial transformation is poised to unfold. Big data technologies have significantly enhanced the R&D efficiency in life sciences and biotechnology, while rapid advances in sequencing technologies have driven the swift development of various omics technologies and their entry into clinical applications. Life sciences have entered an era characterized by big data, large-scale platforms, and major discoveries, all of which have collectively propelled the development of precision medicine, bringing about constant and rapid changes.

Against this backdrop, the International Precision Medicine (Hangzhou) Industry Development Forum will be grandly held in the beautiful city of Hangzhou on July 15–16, 2017. Leaders and experts from government, industry, academia, research institutions, and the medical sector will convene to discuss the current state of precision medicine and envision its future.
