The Evolving Concept of Gender Specific Medicine Symposium

Padua, Italy 2022

The focus of the symposium was to review our evolving view of some aspects of human physiology in the 21st century: the new concept of epigenetics modifying gene expression, a recapitulation of how sex is established and maintained in the human genome, a discussion of the emerging biology of variations in human sexuality and finally a discussion of the concept of personalized medicine: the child of the postgenomic era-its promise and its pitfalls. Each of these topics was discussed in detail.
