A new European initiative has formed for the purpose of promoting the use of diagnostics for personalised medicine. The European Personalised Medicine Diagnostics Association (EPEMED) is a non-profit venture that hopes to recruit commercial and academic research bodies and patient groups to collaborate to advance personalised medicine diagnostics in Europe and promote harmonization between countries in terms of ‘value pricing and value reimbursement with a clear regulatory path in Europe for novel diagnostics and/or companion therapeutics’.
