Autorenporträt

Christina Mitropoulou is Managing Director and Principal Investigator at the Golden Helix Foundation (London, UK), a registered UK-Charity with Research and Educational activities in the field of Genomic and Personalized Medicine. Her research interests revolve around the health economic evaluation of genome-guided therapeutic interventions. Also, Christina Mitropoulou participates as Executive Committee member of the Ubiquitous Pharmacogenomics (U-PGx) project and coordinates the health economic evaluation of the PREPARE clinical study on pre-emptive Pharmacogenomics testing, involving approx. 8000 patients from 7 clinical sites and she is an active member of the Pharmacogenomics Access and Reimbursement Coalition. Christina Mitropoulou has published several original articles on this topic in leading scientific journals and has edited two textbooks on economic evaluation in Genomic Medicine that are published by Elsevier/Academic Press.George P. Patrinos is a Professor of Pharmacogenomics and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology in the University of Patras (Greece), Department of Pharmacy, and Head of Division of Pharmacology and Biosciences of the same department and holds adjunct Full Professorships at Erasmus MC, Faculty of Medicine, and Health Sciences, Rotterdam (the Netherlands), and the United Arab Emirates University, College of Medicine, Department of Genetics and Genomics, Al-Ain (UAE). Also, from 2018 until the end of 2024, he was Chair of the Global Genomic Medicine Collaborative (G2MC). He served 12.5 years as a full member and Greece's National representative in the CHMP Pharmacogenomics Working Party of the European Medicines Agency (EMA). George has more than 340 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals, some of them in leading scientific journals, such as The Lancet, Nature Genetics, Nature Reviews Genetic, Nucleic Acids Research, Genes & Development. He has also coauthored and coedited more than 15 textbooks, among which the renowned textbook Molecular Diagnostics, published by Academic Press, now in its 3rd edition, while he is the editor of Translational and Applied Genomics book series, published by Elsevier. Furthermore, he serves as the Editor-In-Chief of the prestigious Pharmacogenomics Journal (TPJ), published by Nature Publishing Group, Associate Editor, and member of the editorial board of several scientific journals, and advisory and evaluation committees. Apart from that, George is the main coorganizer of the Golden Helix Conferences, an international meeting series on Pharmacogenomics and Genomic Medicine with more than 50 conferences organized in more than 25 countries worldwide.

Rezensionen

"...provides a useful introduction to health economics for non-specialists interested in how it can be applied to genomics, and the relevance of this on policy, reimbursement, and availability of diagnostics and related therapies." --European Journal of Human Genetics
