Welcome!
Welcome to the “3rd International Summit on Precision Health of the Genomas Brasil Program”
The third edition of the International Summit on Precision Health of the Genomas Brasil Program will be online and free of charge. It will bring together guest speakers of the Brazilian Federal Government, health system workers and members of the national and international scientific community with expertise in Genomics and Precision Public Health.
Precision health is an approach that aims to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment focused on individuals or subgroups with similar characteristics. It considers specific features such as genetic variability, environment and lifestyle for the development of more efficient and personalized health treatments.
With the implementation of the Genomas Brasil Program, Brazil is facing the challenge of setting the foundations for the development of precision health and, in the near future, its implemmentation in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), in line with the National Strategy for the Development of the Health Economic-Industrial Complex.
The 3rd International Summit intends to encourage, through panels and lectures, the discussion on the main challenges and advances in genomics and precision health in Brazil and globally.
About the Summit
The “3rd International Summit on Precision Health of the Genomas Brasil Program” is an annual event organized by the Secretariat of Science, Technology and Innovation and the Health Economic-Industrial Complex, of the Brazilian Ministry of Health (SECTICS/MS), through the Department of Science and Technology (Decit).
The event is aligned with the axis of knowledge dissemination of the Genomas Brasil Program and aims to disseminate the latest scientific and technological advances in genomics and precision health for national and international scientific community. Therefore, the event provides updates and training for professionals and researchers, as well as a greater international visibility for Brazilian science and for the Genomas Brasil Program.
ABOUT THE GENOMAS BRASIL PROGRAM
Established on August 4, 2020, Genomas Brasil is a program of science, technology and innovation designed and coordinated by the Department of Science and Technology (Decit/SECTICS/MS) and has the following purposes:
Encourage the national scientific and technological development in the areas of genomics and precision health.
Promote the development of the national genomic industry, which is the set of institutions (public and private) that act in the development, production and marketing of products and services related to genomics. This industry includes companies of biotechnology, pharmaceutical, diagnostic and equipment and technology services of information technology.
Establish a proof of principle, which means to test the effectiveness of new ways of caring for the health of the population using innovative techniques and methods to identify people with greater risk to develop diseases and also to perform an early diagnosis and treat those diseases more effectively. In the case of a line of care in genomics and precision health within SUS, a proof of principle would test the feasibility of implementing this approach in the Brazilian public health system.
The Genomas Brasil Program has the potential to generate new knowledge capable of modifying public policies for prevention and health promotion in the country, helping to increase the population’s access to more effective and safer diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.
