Precision Medicine

The Precision Medicine topic includes research on the use of biological markers, such as genes or physiological measures, to determine optimal prevention or treatment strategies for improved health outcomes for each individual.

Precision medicine (generally considered analogous to personalized medicine or individualized medicine) is a therapeutic approach that uses information about an individual’s genomic, environmental, and lifestyle information to guide decisions related to their medical management. The goal of precision medicine is to provide more a precise approach for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease.
