Abstract
Genomics is rapidly moving from specialist laboratories to hospital wards, reshaping how we diagnose disease, stratify risk, and select therapies. This lecture will explore how whole-genome sequencing is becoming clinically actionable across rare disease, oncology, neonatal intensive care and pharmacogenomics, reducing diagnostic odysseys and enabling more targeted treatment. It will also discuss the emerging role—and current limits—of polygenic risk scores, together with the bioinformatic, organisational and ethical frameworks needed to make personalised medicine equitable, sustainable and part of routine care.
Host: Francesca Granucci
