Circulating cell-free DNA as a new tool for personalized pharmacotherapy
Michael Oellerich

Molecular biomarkers have attracted special attention in transplantation because of the still unresolved problems that limit long-term outcomes. Biomarkers are especially needed that can be used to facilitate personalized immunosuppression. Therapeutic drug monitoring and conventional laboratory tests are not useful for the early detection of acute rejection. A particularly promising new approach for the early detection of graft rejection is based on the determination of graft-derived circulating cell-free DNA (GcfDNA). GcfDNA may also be useful to guide changes in immunosuppression and to monitor immunosuppression minimization.

The lecture will address key issues regarding the use of circulating tumor DNA as a liquid biopsy for molecular monitoring of chemo/immunotherapy in cancer as well as the use of biomarkers to monitor graft integrity and to personalize immunosuppression in solid organ transplantation. The rationale for using GcfDNA as a biomarker in transplantation will be explained and selected results of clinical studies in kidney, heart, lung and liver transplantation will be presented. This molecular approach promises to allow more personalized treatment that shifts emphasis from reaction to prevention, provides actionable healthcare information and improves outcomes at lower healthcare costs.

IATDMCT Scientific Committees: Today's Meetings Reminder
 

Don’t miss the opportunity to attend today’s IATDMCT Scientific Committee meetings.

ALL OF THESE MEETINGS ARE OPEN AND ALL IATDMCT MEMBERS ARE KINDLY INVITED TO PARTICIPATE AS WELL AS TO JOIN THE COMMITTEES.

DAY

TIME COMMITTEE LOCATION
September 27 07:00-08:30 TDM in Oncology Room 101
09:00-10:00 Toxicology and Environmental Health Committee Room 501
12:00-13:00 Pharmacometrics Room 101
13:30-15:30 Young Scientists Room 101

Meet our Newest Committee: Toxicology and Environmental Health Committee

Seeking Expressions of Interest for
Committee Members

The toxicological significance of exposure to environmental pollutants and the consequences on health for the general population are of increasing concern.

Better knowledge on human exposure to these compounds and how they can affect health outcomes is mandatory in order to create healthy environments and improve human health.

The scope of this new scientific committee includes the health aspects of environmental toxicology and more specifically focuses on human exposure assessment.

If you are already involved or wishing to become involved in this emerging field of toxicology, you are welcome to join the new scientific committee. Please get in touch!

A Message from Teun van Gelder, President 2017-2019

Dear friends and colleagues,

After having served for two years as your President-elect I am now ready to take up my role as President of IATDMCT. It is a privilege to work with the other members of the Executive Council, and with the Directors of Education and the Councillors.

Our Association is growing. Scientific achievements are becoming more and more impactful and practice guidelines do have a positive impact on patient management.

 
YS Corner: Meet the JSTDM and IATDMCT YS Chairs
 

Meet the JSTDM Young Scientist Chair

kato 150x200Name: Ryuji Kato
Affiliation: Osaka University of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Current Research Interests:
Investigating the proper use of pharmaceutical products. I am currently developing a prediction and prevention system for serious drug side effects by utilizing pharmacokinetic and biomarker data.

What does it mean to the JSTDM Young Scientists to host the 3rd Joint JSTDM - IATDMCT Young Scientist Symposium here in Kyoto?
It is a valuable opportunity for us to host the 3rd Joint JSTDM - IATDMCT Young Scientist Symposium, because we can network with many overseas researchers. These worldwide professional connections will enable meaningful discussions that will broaden our viewpoints and better enable us to conduct effective research. The young scientists of JSTDM and IATDMCT can be motivated by each other through communication.


Meet the IATDMCT Young Scientist Chair

Current Research Interests:
All areas of analytical pharmacology and toxicology

What do you think are the main benefits to IATDMCT Young Scientists having the opportunity to participate in the 3rd Joint JSTDM - IATDMCT Young Scientist Symposium?
It is a unique opportunity for the JSTDM - IATDMCT Young Scientists to meet each other, to learn from each other, and to participate in an exciting symposium full of the latest research and developments in the field of TDM and CT. I personally hope that the symposium and particularly the YS social activities throughout the Congress will lead to great exchanges of ideas and thoughts and maybe even to new scientific collaborations.
