Mette Nordahl Svendsen and Mie Seest Dam, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Mette Nordahl Svendsen, an anthropologist, and Mie Seest Dam, a public health expert, shared their perspectives on precision medicine, which they view as a practice of coordination—aligning patients, resources, and political agendas in specific clinical contexts. They emphasized the translational nature of precision medicine, requiring collaboration across researchers, clinicians, and patients to create meaningful healthcare solutions. Their research investigates the ethical, organizational, and political dimensions of precision medicine in Denmark, focusing on how it is implemented and experienced in clinical settings. A key concept they discussed is intergenerational solidarity, where patients willingly contribute data and tissue to research as a way of giving back to those who came before them and helping future generations. The speakers highlighted challenges, particularly ensuring that advancements in precision medicine benefit public healthcare systems rather than being limited to expensive therapies accessible only to a global elite. They advocated for robust partnerships across healthcare, social sciences, and the public sector to ensure equitable outcomes. Finally, they commended the symposium for fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and offering new perspectives on precision medicine.
