Powering Precision Health 2017 Announces World-Renowned Keynote Lineup
Powering
Precision Health 2017 (PPHS), the nation's first precision health
summit designed to be the premiere forum for world-leading researchers
and clinicians, today announced its stellar keynote lineup. The summit
will be held Oct. 24th and 25th at the historic
Charles Hotel in Harvard Square.
"Powering Precision Health brings together world-leading innovators,
scientists, physicians, advocates, government officials, and regulators
to collectively address the enormous opportunity of defining wellness
and preventing the progression of disease," said Kevin Hrusovsky,
Founder and Chairman, PPHS 2017. "The summit is an opportunity for
leading medical and scientific minds to share innovations in disease
prevention, early detection and intervention strategies, and debate,
defend and collaborate around key advances in personalized precision
health. We will explore the role of science, sports and business media
publications in educating society and influencing judgements in the
court of public opinion. Breakthroughs in seeing molecular disease
triggers non-invasively in blood are generating excitement around the
potential for early detection of concussion, Chronic traumatic
encephalopathy, Alzheimer's Disease, Multiple sclerosis, pancreatic
cancer and breast cancer. Many of these advances will be unveiled and
carefully explored at PPHS this year."
