Overview

Personalised medicine is one of the most innovative areas in the future of health research. At present, its full potential cannot be developed due to fragmented activities, insufficient communication, and lack of generic solutions in the different areas of personalised medicine; moreover, implementation is a major challenge. The EU- funded Coordination & Support Action PerMed was initiated to step up coordination efforts between key European stakeholders, to allow synergies and avoid duplication or competition, and to provide recommendations to foster the implementation of personalised medicine in transnational research and health systems.
