Programme overview
Introduction:
AI in personalized medicine promises care matched to each patient's genome and molecular profile, yet many organisations buy or build prediction tools without checking the underlying genomic data, the evidence behind gene-drug recommendations or the representativeness of training cohorts. The result is models that stratify patients poorly, alerts clinicians ignore and pilots that stall at validation. This Core Concept course equips clinical, informatics and life-science staff to evaluate precision medicine AI without writing code, from sequencing outputs to regulatory expectations. Participants produce a Precision Medicine AI Pilot Plan and Validation Checklist.
Course Objectives:
- Interpret genomic and multi-omics data outputs well enough to question how an AI model uses them
- Evaluate risk prediction and patient stratification models using discrimination, calibration and explainability evidence
- Apply CPIC-style gene-drug guidance to judge AI-supported prescribing and treatment selection proposals
- Assess imaging, digital pathology and molecular biomarkers feeding clinical decision support
- Audit genetic data consent, privacy protection, ancestry bias and validation evidence against Good Machine Learning Practice expectations
- Produce a Precision Medicine AI Pilot Plan and Validation Checklist for a real use case
Target Audience:
- Clinicians responsible for applying genomic test results and decision support in patient care
- Health informatics staff who integrate genotype data and AI outputs into clinical records and workflows
- Pharmacy and medication safety staff responsible for pharmacogenomic prescribing guidance
- Pharma and biotech staff responsible for biomarker strategy, companion diagnostics or real-world evidence
- Clinical research and data governance staff who manage biobank, registry and consent processes

- Genetic Data Governance
- Algorithmic Bias Auditing
- AI Medical Software Validation
Why Attend This Course:
- Leave with a Precision Medicine AI Pilot Plan and Validation Checklist shaped around your own use case
- Question vendor claims about genomic prediction tools using the metrics and bias checks covered on the course
- Understand why gene-drug alerts succeed or fail inside real prescribing workflows
- Compare approaches with peers from hospitals, laboratories, pharmaceutical companies and research institutes
Conclusion:
Precision medicine AI succeeds when genomic data quality, model evidence, clinical workflow and patient consent are handled together. The course moves from sequencing outputs and multi-omics data, through risk prediction and patient stratification methods, to pharmacogenomics, treatment selection and imaging biomarkers, then consent, bias, validation and expectations for AI medical software. The final day applies these methods in oncology, pharmacy and cardiometabolic cases and produces a Precision Medicine AI Pilot Plan and Validation Checklist ready for internal review.
