Javier Gómez-Arrue participates in the nationwide conference “Coordinated Approach to Personalised Precision Medicine between Autonomous Regions”
• The event, organised by the Roche Institute Foundation, aimed to define common strategies and move towards a fairer and more sustainable system.
The Roche Institute Foundation assembled political representatives and health experts in Madrid for a conference entitled “Coordinated Approach to Personalised Precision Medicine between Autonomous Regions”, including the director of Navarrabiomed, Javier Gómez-Arrue. The event served as a meeting point to define common strategies and move towards the implementation of Personalised Precision Medicine in a way that will result in a fairer and more sustainable healthcare system.
Throughout the day, various presentations and round tables took place, focusing on the presentation of the report of the same name, aimed at issuing recommendations for a coordinated approach to Personalised Precision Medicine among the autonomous regions that can be implemented jointly and harmoniously throughout the healthcare system.
Javier Gómez-Arrue participated in the round table discussion on the transfer to clinical practice, the need to digitise the system and the use of data for research and innovation purposes, sharing his views based on his extensive career and experience as former head of the Personalised Medicine, Knowledge Production and Innovation Department at the Aragon Health Sciences Institute and current director of Navarrabiomed. Specifically, he highlighted the urgent need to standardise information so that it is interoperable and available in the European data space, in compliance with all current regulations, with a view to developing more ambitious multicentre studies and expanding the data available for research in order to generate more robust evidence. He also supported the proposal to create an interdisciplinary commission capable of addressing the challenges posed by personalised and precision medicine, which must include other related areas and profiles in order to cover the entire health system.
Also participating in the round table discussion were: María Isidoro, Head of Clinical Analysis and Clinical Biochemistry at the Salamanca University Healthcare Complex; Icíar Martínez, Coordinator of the Balearic Islands’ Genetics and Genomics Unit, Joaquín Dopazo, Director of the Computational Medicine Platform of the Andalusian Progress and Health Foundation; María Brión, Coordinator of the Galicia Genome Project; and Marina Pollán, Director of the Carlos III Health Institute.
With this conference, the Roche Institute Foundation reaffirms its commitment to contributing to the development of an innovative and sustainable patient-focused healthcare system.
