In his opening speech, Dr. \u00c1goston Sz\u00e9l, rector of Semmelweis University, emphasised: the Semmelweis Symposium is one of the University\u2019s most prestigious scientific events, with a tradition stretching back several decades; this year marks the 21st such conference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Rector Sz\u00e9l recalled that each year a different University professor or researcher is given the opportunity to organise the international conference, which always explores a particularly important and current topic. The high quality of the symposium is guaranteed by the selection process, which is a sort of competition. The potential organisers have to submit an application, including the planned topic and a list of potential invitees. It is based upon these documents that the University\u2019s Scientific Council selects the organiser of the given year\u2019s Semmelweis Symposium.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2876\" title=\"Semmelweis Symposium 2012\" src=\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2012\/11\/Semmelweis-Symposium-2012_280px.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"195\" \/>The current choice of topic is justified by a constellation of current issues, Dr. \u00c1goston Sz\u00e9l said. First of all, the \u201cModern Medical Technologies at Semmelweis University\u201d Research University project officially ended just a few days ago, the preventative module of which focused on personalised medicine. Secondly, 2012 is the Year of Prevention at Semmelweis University.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Rector Sz\u00e9l emphasised: The symposium is not only a scientific event, but is very important from an educational point-of-view as well, with Ph.D. student receiving credit points for participating in the conference, under certain conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2879\" title=\"Semmelweis Symposium 2012\" src=\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2012\/11\/Semmelweis-Symposium-2012_2_205px.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"215\" \/>With regards to the changing paradigms in personalised medicine, Dr. M\u00e1ria Judit Moln\u00e1r, vice-rector for Scientific Affairs and president of the symposium, said the following: The North American region is the most advanced with regards to the clinical application of personalised medicine, but the European Union is not far behind \u2013 though there are some technological differences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Almost every such examination is available in Hungary as well, with the knowledge and techniques at the European-level. These examinations are extensively present in Semmelweis University\u2019s research portfolio, which also focuses on research related to those biomarkers, which support early diagnosis and the identification of genetic risk factors. Semmelweis University is at the forefront of personalised medicine research, Dr. M\u00e1ria Judit Moln\u00e1r emphasised.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">P\u00e1lma Dobozi and Zsuzsa Szuchy<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Translated by Gina Varga-G\u00f6nczi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly 200 registered participants from 13 countries took part in this year\u2019s Semmelweis Symposium, entitled \u201cQuestions of Genomic Medicine: Prediction, Prevention and Personalised Treatment\u201d.
