SUMMARY:Personalized Risk Assessment for Early Detection of Cancer
DESCRIPTION:Personalized Risk Assessment for Early Detection of Cancer \nThursday\, December 21 | 9 a.m. ET | Online \nSpeaker: Dr. Nora Pashayan \nDr. Pashayan is a Professor of the Epidemiology of Aging and honorary Consultant in Public Health Medicine at the University of Cambridge.  She is a cancer epidemiologist\, a clinician with specialties in both Family Medicine and Public Health Medicine\, and the Director of Training for the International Alliance for Cancer Early Detection. Dr. Pashayan’s primary research field is cancer early detection\, risk stratification\, and population-level screening.  Her research focuses on understanding disease courses\, evaluating screening strategies\, and implementation of novel screening strategies. \nThis talk will introduce the concept of risk-stratified cancer screening and explore the essential considerations for implementation of such a screening program. Examples on integration and implementation will be drawn from the ongoing Canadian study\, PERSPECTIVE I&I. \nTo learn more and register\, visit the GGMC Educational Webinar Series page. \nPlease note: Registration is required for this webinar.

SUMMARY:Carolina Seminar Series | Precision Medicine Research and Novel Clinical Offerings: Ensuring Equitable Impact Through Implementation Science
DESCRIPTION:Precision Medicine Research and Novel Clinical Offerings: Ensuring Equitable Impact Through Implementation Science \nWednesday\, December 6 | 4 p.m. ET | Online \nSpeakers: Caitlin Allen\, PhD\, MPH\nAssistant Professor\, Medical University of South Carolina \nElizabeth Mayer-Davis\, PhD\, RD\nBoshamer Distinguished Professor of Nutrition and Medicine\, UNC-Chapel Hill \nAs technologies and health interventions expand at a rapid rate in healthcare\, many providers and patients desire quick and efficient incorporation of these new offerings in to practice.  The field of implementation science can be critical in studying the barriers and facilitators to bring options previously available only in the research realm to the clinic. The design and development of health interventions are increasingly informed by implementation science theories\, models\, and frameworks to emphasize diverse reach and improve adoption and increase health equity in under served and marginalized communities. By testing new clinical offerings with implementation science methodologies\, we can improve the quality of health practices for all patients while promoting equity and inclusion and ensuring that the availability of novel clinical offerings does not exacerbate existing health disparities. \nTo learn more and register\, visit the UNC events page. \nPlease note: Registration is required for this seminar.

DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 14 | 12-1 p.m. ET | Online \nCDC Webinar: The Promise and Challenges of Implementing Pharmacogenomics to Improve Population Health: Where Are we Heading with Preemptive Pharmacogenomic Screening? \nIndividual variability in drug response efficacy or safety is becoming an increasing problem globally\, given the growing population of older adults. Reasons for this variability include genomic factors\, an area of study called pharmacogenomics. With genotyping technologies now widely available and decreasing in cost\, implementing pharmacogenomics into clinical practice is widely viewed as an initial step in mainstreaming genomic medicine. \nThis seminar will review recent developments in the field of pharmacogenomics and the ongoing challenges in equitable translation of discoveries into clinical practice and public health programs. \nSpeaker: \nProfessor Sir Munir Pirmohamed\, MB ChB (Hons)\, PhD\, FRCP\, FRCP(E)\, FFPM\, FRSB\, FBPhS\, FMedSci\nDavid Weatherall Chair of Medicine and National Health Service Chair of Pharmacogenetics\nDirector\, Centre for Drug Safety Science and Wolfson Centre for Personalised Medicine\nInstitute of Systems\, Molecular and Integrative Biology (ISMIB)\nUniversity of Liverpool \nPlease note: registration is required. Visit the CDC Genomics & Precision Health event page to learn more and sign up.
