Конец медицины «одного размера для всех»

Фармацевтическая 3D-печать может изменить подход к лечению: вместо стандартных доз предлагается персонализированная терапия. По словам докладчицы, дозы можно подбирать с учётом возраста, состояния здоровья, генетики и потребностей лечения, что может повысить безопасность, эффективность и приверженность терапии. Доктор Джорджина Марш также связывает этот подход с цифровым здравоохранением и проблемами системы здравоохранения в графстве Саффолк.

• Переход от стандартных доз к персонализированной медицине
• Подбор препаратов с учётом возраста, заболеваний и генетики
• Объединение нескольких лекарств в одной таблетке

Pharmaceutical 3D printing has the potential to transform healthcare by replacing the traditional “one-size-fits-all” approach with truly personalised medicine. Instead of standard doses, medicines can be tailored to each patient’s age, health conditions, genetics, and treatment needs, improving safety, effectiveness, and adherence. The technology can also combine multiple medications into a single tablet and work alongside digital healthcare systems to create smarter, more efficient care. For Suffolk, where an ageing population, rural healthcare challenges, and increasing pressure on NHS services are growing concerns, personalised medicine could improve access to treatment, reduce medication-related hospital admissions, and bring care closer to home. This talk explores how innovation can help create a more patient-centred and resilient healthcare system. Dr Georgina Marsh is a UK-registered pharmacist and academic leading the development of the Department of Pharmacy at the University of Suffolk. She holds a PhD from the University of Nottingham and specialises in pharmaceutical 3D printing, researching how engineered surface structures can influence particle adhesion, microbial viability, and drug delivery. Her work explores innovative dosage forms tailored to individual patient needs, with the aim of improving therapeutic outcomes through personalised medicine. Georgina's research combines pharmaceutical science, materials engineering, and emerging technologies to advance patient-centred healthcare. Alongside her academic career, Georgina has worked as a Senior Formulation Scientist at AstraZeneca, an Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham Malaysia, and a Senior Lecturer at Swansea University. She is passionate about shaping the future of digitally enabled pharmacy through research, innovation, and education.
