Precision medicine or personalized therapy refers to tailoring of medical treatment specific to patient characteristics so that diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic modalities can be focused on individuals who are likely to achieve positive results. Personalized therapy with biologics, especially cell and gene therapy products, is a rapidly growing field and represents a paradigm shift in the conventional approach to healthcare. The researchers are unlocking the secrets of how an individual’s genetics impacts his or her likelihood of disease susceptibility, progression and outcomes.
Precision medicine with advanced therapies are being actively investigated in various therapeutic areas such as oncology, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, genetic disorders, and autoimmune diseases, particularly for severe, rare, and chronic diseases.
