THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE AND
JAMA. DISCUSSION ON THE EDGE: REPORTS OF
RECENT CRITICAL CARE RESEARCH
2:15 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. MOSCONE CENTER
Room 2002/2004 (West Building, Level 2)
This session will provide a forum for attendees to interact with the authors and
editors about papers published in the New England Journal of Medicine and
JAMA. Papers presented will be recent publications, selected by the editors, to
be of significant importance to the field of critical care medicine. Attendees will
have the opportunity to hear presentations directly from the author and address
questions to both the authors and editors. The discussion is intended to provide
a unique insight into these papers, the selection process, and how the research
applies directly to the field of critical care medicine.

Target Audience
Basic scientists, clinician scientists, research and clinical trainees, providers of
lung health care, and individuals in areas of health policy and health delivery.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• understand and describe how work that has led to understanding biological
processes is being used to underpin its application to medicine, as well as
practical, ethical and policy issues;
• identify ongoing research in pulmonary medicine that is identifying
opportunities and approaches for precision medicine;
• describe technologies and their use to generate data and understanding to
enable precision medicine delivery for lung disease.
Progress in biomedical research has revealed that health and disease result from
combinatorial interacting responses, determined by genetics and posttranslational
control, to complex factors. This session will address how composite knowledge
and capacity in biology and medicine is now seated for the delivery of “precision
medicine”, and provides some current examples in pulmonary medicine of
emerging and ongoing effort in this area. Talks that cover broad lung disease
areas are presented, emphasizing how networks, bioinformatics, high throughput
and stem cell technologies are being harnessed. The session also features
discussion about emerging policies for the delivery of precision medicine care.
