Everyone is talking about precision medicine. For more than 15 years, ground-breaking research has been carried out in this field within one of the DFG (German Research Foundation) Clusters of Excellence based in Kiel. For the purpose of determining the best ways of selecting individual treatment and management of patients, the Cluster of Excellence “Precision Medicine in Chronic Inflammation” (PMI) will be hosting an international symposium in Kiel on 1 and 2 July, 2022, with more than 45 invited speakers from Germany and abroad. By way of interdisciplinary dialogue covering four areas of treatment, the aim of the symposium is to try to determine the best strategies for inflammatory diseases in each of these areas. It is a Hybrid event: All lectures and discussions will be broadcast online.
