1st Collaborative session
MOLECULAR BIOMARKERS AND STATISTICAL LEARNING IN PREDICTIVE, PREVENTIVE AND PERSONALISED MEDICINE
COOPERATION EVENT BETWEEN GENETICS ALBANIA AND NANOBALKAN REGIONAL CENTER
Tirana, Albania (September 30, 2025)
This session on Molecular Biomarkers and Statistical Learning in Predictive, Preventive, and Personalised Medicine, is part of the nanoBalkan Conference in proud collaboration with Genetics Albania.
This session stands at the intersection of nanotechnology, genetics, and molecular biology, reflecting a growing movement toward precision healthcare. By harnessing cutting-edge developments in molecular biomarkers and the power of statistical learning, we are redefining how diseases are predicted, prevented, and treated - moving from reactive to proactive medicine.
Our discussions will highlight the transformative potential of nanotechnological tools in biomarker discovery, data-driven models in patient stratification, and how collaborative frameworks between disciplines and institutions - such as this unique partnership between nanoBalkan and Genetics Albania - can accelerate progress toward truly personalised medicine.
Join us as we explore how cross-sector synergy and innovation are shaping the future of healthcare.
LOCATION: NanoBalkan2025 will take place in Hotel Tirana International, Albania
DATE: September 30, 2025
ORGANISERS: Event organized by Phantoms Foundation (Spain), NanoBalkan Regional Center and Albanian Society of Human Molecular Genetics (ASHMG) with the support from Albania Academy of Sciences and University of Tirana.
