The principles of personalized medicine and how they affect the lives of people acknowledge no national boundaries. Although there are some differences among the diverse populations around the world in terms of their genetic variation, the general principles of personalized medicine apply uniformly across many populations. Dr. Periz will discuss how personalized medicine is viewed across the many European countries with particular emphasis on how Spain is implementing it into its medical care.
