'Personalized Medicine: Are We There Yet?' lecture set for Feb. 9

2/1/13

A free public lecture titled "Personalized Medicine: Are We There Yet?" will take place at 11 a.m. Feb. 9, in 100 Thomas Building. The speaker will be Marylyn Ritchie, an associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology and the director of the Center for Systems Genomics at Penn State.

The event is the fourth of six lectures in the 2013 Penn State Lectures on the Frontiers of Science, a free minicourse for the general public with the theme "Your Genes: How They Contribute to Who You Are." No registration is required. The lectures take place on six consecutive Saturday mornings from 11 a.m. to about 12:30 p.m. in 100 Thomas Building.

In her lecture, Ritchie will discuss the central goal of identifying genetic variation for complex human traits -- using genetic data for treatment and prevention of common disease. She will explain how far the science has come in recent years in the complex task of using genetic information for personalizing health care.
