Programa Doutoral em Medicina e Oncologia Moleculares

eneral objective:

To present a current vision of Pharmacogenomics and Precision Medicine and their role in Modern Medicine, as vectors for the individualization of treatments or chemoprevention, thus changing behaviors and encouraging the practice of evidence-based medicine.

Particular objectives:

Theoretical review and discussion of current knowledge, with particular emphasis on its importance for developing the skills of health professionals and understanding the appropriate strategies for Personalized Medicine.

Knowledge of the impact of new technologies in Precision Medicine and Pharmacogenomics, as promoters of better diagnosis, earlier treatment and earlier disease prevention, taking into account individual variability: genetics, lifestyles and the environment.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências (*) Os estudantes deverão ser capazes de reconhecer exemplos atualizados de aplicação da Farmacogenómica à Medicina Personalizada e de Precisão.

O uso de exemplos com relevância clínica para o Homem e focado nos conteúdos programáticos, prepara os estudantes para este desafio profissional. Além disso, nos casos de médicos, farmacêuticos ou outros profissionais de saúde, gerar-se-á um alerta para os novos avanços na área e a habilitação cientiífica para uma atitude crítica de base científica.

Nos estudantes promover-se-á a atenção a condicionantes passíveis de afectar a eficácia e toxicidade dos procedimentos terapêuticos de modo a, aquando da sua intervenção, minimizar os riscos associados. Students should be able to recognize up-to-date examples of the application of Pharmacogenomics to Personalized and Precision Medicine.

The use of examples with clinical relevance for humans and focused on the syllabus, prepares students for this professional challenge. Furthermore, in the case of doctors, pharmacists or other health professionals, alerts will be generated regarding new advances in the area and the scientific qualification for a scientifically based critical attitude.

The students will be encouraged to pay attention to conditions that may affect the effectiveness and toxicity of therapeutic procedures in order to minimize the associated risks during intervention.
