During his visit as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of IBioBA, the Nobel awardee explained the advantages and the debate this new paradigm. Many call personalized medicine the third revolution of medicine, a paradigm shift. The first revolution was the era of incidental discoveries, such as penicillin or aspirin (1900s-1950s). The second revolution…

Researchers and physicians working at the two centers discovered a mechanism that intervenes in the process of tumor expansion. In the future, it could be used as an early marker of malignancy and improve response times. Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects 1 in 36,000 people. The mutation of a gene,…
