The Future of Personalized Healthcare
through Precision Medicine

We are living in the midst of a revolution in the way that biomedicine approaches disease. Inspired by the revolution in genomics and related technologies (imaging, advanced delivery systems, etc.), we are moving away from traditional epidemiological views of disease states towards a personalized approach that promises to revolutionize healthcare. This presentation will describe the exciting opportunities and attendant challenges in realizing the potential of personalized medicine, while highlighting the work of Notre Dame researchers to make it a reality.

2023 Successful Aging Festival

Tuesday May 23, 2023

SCOSA's Annual Successful Aging Festivl returned after three years of COVID-19 related cancellations. By many accounts, this was one of our best, with packed meeting rooms, enthusiastic exhibitors and approximately 300 guests.

The Festival Theme coincided with the national Older Americans Month Theme: Aging Unbound, and "explored diverse aging experiences and discussed how communities can combat stereotypes" and promote flexible thinking about aging – and how we all benefit when older adults remain engaged, independent, and included.
