Predictive Medicine in Endocrinology: Genetic Signatures to Cracking the Code of Hormonal Health
Global Greek Influence- Giota PimenidouShow Notes
Dr. Constantine Stratakis is a renowned endocrinologist and leader in the field of precision medicine, known for using genetic tools to target genetic defects causing human diseases. He holds various international professorships, including at the Mayo Clinic (US) and the European University of Cyprus.
With Dr. Stratakis, I discuss precision medicine in endocrinology, focusing on genetic markers, emerging technologies, and diagnostic tools for disease prediction.
Topics include:
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis,
the role of the vitamin D receptor, and
the complexities of thyroid disorders.
Also
Challenges of identifying and managing psychiatric, endocrine, and autoimmune diseases in both children and adults are explored.
The intricate relationship between human molecular genetics and pituitary tumors is examined.
Diagnosing multiple endocrine neoplasias before the full integration of predictive medicine.
