Precision medicine is poised to transform healthcare, with biobanks being identified as a key enabler to bring it to fruition by 2030 by putting new, extended datasets at the disposal of pharmaceutical researchers and healthcare professionals. — by Marilyn Matz
Precision medicine is one of the most talked about trends in healthcare. The promise is improved health outcomes and patient satisfaction, gained through an understanding of individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle. Recent commentators suggest that many of the technologies required to realize this goal already exist—and predict much
