SUMMARY:Coronary Heart Disease\, Family History and Public Health: From Familial Hypercholesterolemia to Elevated Lipoprotein A
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 27 | 11 am-12 p.m. ET | Online\nCDC Webinar: Coronary Heart Disease\, Family History and Public Health: From Familial Hypercholesterolemia to Elevated Lipoprotein A\n \nHeart disease remains the number one cause of death in the United States and around the world. In addition to known risk factors for heart disease\, family history plays an important role. In the past decade\, major advances have occurred at the intersection of genomics\, heart disease and public health. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH)\, a genetic disorder of cholesterol metabolism affecting millions of people\, has emerged as public health genomics priority for preventing premature morbidity and mortality from heart disease. In addition\, elevated lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) increases the risk of coronary heart disease\, occur in 1 in 5 people\, have a strong genetic basis\, and accentuate the cardiovascular risk from FH and other risk factors. \nThis seminar will explore advances in FH and Lp(a) and the emerging clinical and public health approaches to reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease using genetics and family history. \nPlease note: registration is required. Visit the CDC’s website to learn more and sign up.

SUMMARY:Precision Nutrition: Connections Between Food\, Environment & Health Mini-Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 22 | 2-4 p.m. ET | Online \nJoin the UNC Program for Precision Medicine in Healthcare (PPMH) for Precision Nutrition: Connections Between Food\, Environment & Health\, a free virtual mini-symposium on Wednesday March 22\, 2023 from 2:00-4:00pm ET. At this interactive event\, you will engage in discussion with leading precision nutrition researchers at UNC. \nPrecision nutrition is an emerging personalized approach to nutrition that takes into account an individual’s unique dietary needs\, lifestyle factors\, and genetic makeup. This approach recognizes the intricate relationship between diet\, environment\, and health\, acknowledging that what we eat and how we live can significantly impact our wellbeing. A precision nutrition approach also considers the individual’s unique health goals\, such as managing a chronic condition or maintaining a healthy weight. By taking into account all of these factors\, precision nutrition can help individuals make informed choices about their diet and lifestyle and achieve optimal health outcomes. Ultimately\, precision nutrition recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition and health\, and it tailors dietary recommendations and interventions to the individual. \nLearn more and register on the UNC Precision Medicine website.

SUMMARY:Incorporating Integrated Diagnostics into Precision Oncology Care: A Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 6 – Tuesday\, March 7 | Washington\, DC & Virtual \nInnovations in the diagnostic specialties have the potential to dramatically reshape cancer diagnosis and enable precision therapy. Spurred by advances in informatics\, there are opportunities to combine and collate information from imaging\, pathology\, and molecular testing. Multidisciplinary collaboration among pathologists\, radiologists\, and oncologists—supplemented by machine-learning based tools—could facilitate a more precise understanding of a patient’s diagnosis and what treatment strategies may be most effective for improved patient outcomes. Integrated diagnostics also have the potential to improve patient access to subspecialty expertise\, particularly in community-based settings of cancer care. \nThis National Academies workshop\, convened by the National Cancer Policy Forum\, in collaboration with the Academies’ Computer Science and Telecommunications Board\, and the Board on Human-Systems Integration\, is an opportunity for the cancer community to better define the purpose\, goals\, and components of integrated diagnostics. Workshop presentations and discussions will examine the current state of integrated diagnostics in facilitating precision cancer care and highlight speaker perspectives on the vision for the future. \nVisit the event page on the National Academies website for more details and to register.
