  Challenges for Mathematical Modelling in the Era of Personalized Medicine
  Franz Kappel

  The tailoring of medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient (definition of "Personalized Medicine"’ by the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology) among many other requirements puts new challenges for mathematical modeling of physiological subsystem. In the presentation we shall first discuss some of the definitions of personalized medicine or precision medicine available in the literature, then the challenges on mathematical modeling and finally illustrate these for some concrete examples.
