The 3rd U-PGx Personalized Medicine Day in Toulouse was successfully organized and completed on 17th November 2017 with the theme ”Pharmacogenomics in Oncology: Deciphering the Ethical, Legal and Societal Issues”.
The meeting was co-organized by the Golden Helix Foundation and the University of Toulouse, which both are partners of the Ubiquitous Pharmacogenomics (U-PGx) project, funded by the European Commission (H2020-668353).
