The International Precision Medicine Forum will hold, from November 24 to 27, 2025, a new edition dedicated to Personalized and Precision Medicine in the field of Clinical Microbiology, an internationally renowned course that will bring together experts from clinical and research settings to discuss the most innovative advances in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases.
The course, coordinated by Dr. María Pía Roiz Mesones, Head of the Microbiology Department at Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital (HUMV) and researcher at IDIVAL and CIBERINFEC, has the scientific endorsement of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC), the Study Group on Imported Pathology (GEPI-SEIMC), and the Study Group on Mechanisms of Action and Resistance to Antimicrobials (SEIMC-GEMARA).
The program, which will take place in a virtual format via Zoom with daily sessions from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (a total of 8 teaching hours), will address topics of great clinical and research relevance, including:
• The role of the microbiome in precision medicine.
• The management of emerging and tropical infectious diseases.
• Innovations in artificial intelligence applied to microbiological diagnostics.
• New strategies in antimicrobial resistance, phage therapy, and genomic sequencing.
• Advances in the elimination of hepatitis C, the characterization of RatHEV as a new zoonotic hepatitis, and the design of HIV vaccines.
Among the confirmed speakers are renowned specialists such as:
Climent Casals Pascual (Hospital Clínic de Barcelona), Rosa del Campo Moreno (IRYCIS, CIBERINFEC), Mireia Vallès-Colomer (Universitat Pompeu Fabra), Francisco Javier Membrillo de Novales (Central Defense Hospital “Gómez Ulla”), Marta Díaz Menéndez (La Paz-Carlos III University Hospital, IdiPAZ), Carles Rubio Maturana (VHIR), Javier Fernández Domínguez (Pragmatech AI Solutions), Carla López Causapé (Son Espases University Hospital, CIBERINFEC), María del Mar Tomás (INIBIC, A Coruña), Federico García García (San Cecilio University Clinical Hospital, Granada), Javier Caballero Gómez (IMIBIC, University of Córdoba) and José Alcamí Campo (Hospital Clínic-IDIBAPS).
The sessions will be moderated by specialists from HUMV-IDIVAL, including Sergio García Fernández, Zaira Moure García, María Siller Ruiz and Daniel Pablo Marcos, and will be organized around four thematic blocks:
1. The role of the microbiome in personalized and precision medicine.
2. Precision in the study of imported and emerging diseases.
3. Updates in antimicrobial resistance: advancing personalized antibiotic therapy.
4. Precision in the study of hepatitis virus and HIV infections.
The course is free of charge and aimed at clinical microbiology professionals, researchers, healthcare personnel, and students interested in deepening their knowledge of the current and future challenges of precision medicine.
