SAPA 2014 Scientific Symposium "Making a Difference in Patient's Lives: Novel Therapies and Precision Medicine" on April 26 at Princeton University

TRENTON, NJ, April 09, 2014

Many of us have witnessed some astonishing advances in medicine in just the last couple of years. For some forms of cancer, we once spoke of potential treatment; we are now talking about potential cure. For hepatitis C, we once spoke of the "silent killer" that affects 3 million people in this country alone; we are now talking about potential eradication. While the first human genome cost $3 billion to sequence, we can now get the full DNA sequence of any patient for a couple of thousand dollars to guide the treatment plan.

We are pleased to bring to you the 2014 SAPA Scientific Symposium "Making a Difference in Patient's Lives: Novel Therapies and Precision Medicine" on April 26 Saturday, 8:30 am to 5 pm at McDonnell Building Princeton University. We cordially invite you to join us to celebrate the triumph of science in helping patients overcome deadly diseases. Please sign up at http://www.sapaweb.org.
