About American Association for Precision Medicine (AAPM)
AAPM is a non-profit organization catalyzing healthcare transformation by fostering breakthrough innovation in prevention, early detection, treatment, and care. AAPM is on a mission to accelerate the field of precision medicine through research, education, communication, and collaboration to foster new medical breakthroughs.
Through its programs and services, AAPM accelerates dissemination of new research findings among scientists and others dedicated to finding the right drugs, for the right patients, at the right dose, through the right route, and at the right time. AAPM promotes science education and training to facilitate ‘precision medical care’, based on an individual’s genomic, environment, and lifestyle differences enabling more precise methods to prevent and treat diseases. AAPM also facilitates a dialogue between the 4-P’s of precision medicine: patients, providers, public health planners (government), and payers to work together to achieve the goal of delivering improved outcomes at reduced costs.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, AAPM rapidly launched the AAPM Coronavirus Taskforce (ACT) in January 2020. ACT brings together a worldwide network of experts spanning clinical, scientific, technical, and advocacy backgrounds. The Taskforce’s Mission is to develop, deliver and disseminate strategies for COVID-19 specific prevention, diagnostics, therapeutics, supply chain logistics, artificial Intelligence-driven solutions, impact investment funding opportunities, and other patient-centric precision medicine innovation techniques.
