Summer school Genomic medicine – Bridging research and the clinic

1 INTRODUCTION The summer school “Genomic Medicine: Bridging Research and the clinic” took place between May 3rd - 7th at the Hotel Histrion in Portorož, Slovenia. The Summer school was organized by Pharmacogenetics laboratory, Institute of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana as a collaborative action between Artemida Teaming project, CASyM, COST Action EUPancreas (BM1204), COST Action EU-ROS (BM1203) and SERBORDISinn. The Summer School received recognition from several associations and professional societies and was endorsed by Slovenian Biochemical Society, Golden Helix Institute of Biomedical Research, Genomic Medicine Alliance, ESPT, Eu-PIC and H2020 project U-PGx. The summer school covered a wide range of topics related to genomic medicine (personalized, 4P or stratified medicine), pharmacogenomics and epigenomics, systems medicine and translation of basic research into clinical practice and public health. In total 77 researchers, medical doctors, PhD students, post docs and lecturers, mostly from Europe, but also from Israel and Argentina, participated (Figure 1). Among them 4 students were accredited with ECTS (5 credits) and 12 MDs with CME credit points (25 credits). On the morning of May 3rd 2016, before the opening of the Summer school, a Satellite workshop “In vitro and in vivo models for development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches” took place. Various models from spheroid systems, systems for detection of genotoxic agents and zebra fish models to skeletal muscle cell models and models of neurodegenerative diseases were described during the workshop. The Summer School opening lecture was delivered by prof. Ron van Schaik, who talked about clinical implementation of pharmacogenomics in The Netherlands. The main focus of the lecture were DNA passports that are used in pre-emptive genotyping and enable patients to receive medication adjusted on genomic profile for over 80 drugs. The afternoon session on NGS and genomic medicine and rare diseases was organised by SERBORDISinn. Lectures focused mostly on use of NGS in genetic diagnostics, but also in other fields such as orphan drug development. In the evening a welcome reception in the hotel Histrion was organized for all the participants. On Wednesday May 4th 2016, pharmacogenomics and pharmacoepigenetics were covered in the morning session. Several lectures described the potential use of miRNA and non-coding RNAs as biomarkers. Summer school participants presented their research during the poster session. The lectures on personalised medicine in the afternoon session illustrated the role of pharmacogenomics in various diseases, from type 2 diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease to psychiatry to transplantation. Clinical implementation was also discussed. On Thursday May 5th 2016, oxidative stress and gene-environment interactions were discussed in the morning. Different approaches were presented, including genome-wide association interaction studies. In the afternoon, a round table ‘The needs and directions for research and development services in pharmacy and biomedicine’ was held. The round table discussion was opened to public and presenters from University of Trieste and Faculty of Pharmacy joined the panellists. After the round table an excursion to Piran was organized followed by dinner in one of the Piran’s well-known Mediterranean restaurants. On Friday May 6th 2016, morning session started with the presentation of ‘CASyM and Systems Approaches to Tackle Multifactorial Pathologies’, by prof. Damjana Rozman. She has thoroughly explained the relevant definitions, the need for systems medicine training and the aims of the CASyM. She has explained the conceptual framework of systems medicine, and the systems (global) approaches, including mathematical modelling, on the example of multifactorial liver diseases. The morning session continued with lectures on bioinformatics and biostatistics for translational research and the emerging technologies in pharmacogenomics. Summer school participants also presented their research during the second poster session after the lunch break. The afternoon sessions focused on cancer genomics, cancer epidemiology, personalized cancer treatment and novel approaches to cancer treatment. The day extended late into the night with the gala dinner in the hotel Histrion.

On Saturday May 7th 2016, translation to clinical practice was discussed in the morning, covering a range of topics, from biomarkers to genotype-based drug dosing and pre-emptive testing. The closing plenary lecture was delivered by Sir Munir Pirmohamed and focused on the current challenges in personalized medicine and on the opportunities brought by genomic information and novel approaches. Due to the diverse scientific topics and excellent lecturers the participants were able to broaden their knowledge on the latest achievements in translational, personalized, 4P and stratified medicine. There was plenty of time available for the discussions after each session, where MDs had the opportunity to receive further information on implementation of basic research into clinical practice. The coffee breaks and meals organized in the hotel as well as several social events encouraged the participants to establish new connections that will foster further international collaborations.
